Clark Kent on four legs

 Not the superman you associate with Clark Kent, but this guy is almost as powerful.

A Labrador Retriever, Clark Kent arrived into Dublin today from Brisbane, Australia.

As you can see, he is in great form and enjoyed his walk with the guys from Pets on Board, who looked after him at Dublin airport.

No flying around on your own now Clark and look after your humans.

Freddie the Boxer

 Freddie is a real traveler, arrived into Dublin today from Australia and enjoyed a brief walk while waiting for his owners to catch up with him.

The guys over at Pets on Board looked after Freddie and made sure he got through all the regulations and checks in great time for his walk.

    Enjoy your visit to Ireland Freddie.
