If you like dogs, then you must’ve already understood that dogs are some of the most adventurous creatures out there. They have this taste for adventure that only a handful of humans can understand. Sometimes it’s produced by their need to help those who are in need, but sometimes, they are just plain mischievous.
Take this Irish terrier in this story for example. Meet Hamish, an adventurous little pup who just thought that his hometown of Kildare, was too tame for his liking. His adventurous heart would jump out of his chest if he didn’t do something adventurous pretty soon.
So, one fateful day, he decided to hop onto the Irish Rail traveling from Kildare to Dublin. No one saw him hop onto the train, so he was free to go, sort of. The Irish Rail staff found him in Dublin. They were puzzled and tried to search for his owner to no avail.
They then decided to keep him with them for the meantime, and named him “Hamish.” They posted a photo of Hamish on their Twitter account, hoping that the word would spread far enough to find the human parents of this wanderlust. This tweet was retweeted a thousand times and even got the attention of the local news team.
Hamish was being kept in Heuston station in Dublin, one of the main train stations in the capital, where they wait for Hamish’s parents to come forward. Hamish, by the way, did not have any microchip on him. Hence, the difficulties and the viral Tweets. But that would change very soon. Upon seeing Hamish on Twitter and on the news, plenty of people came forward and asked to adopt the pup if his parents did not come and claim him.
After several days, they would be disappointed as Hamish’s parents would come for him. His real name is Tyson, he likes to run away whenever there is construction going on. Before they went home, his parents put a microchip on him just in case he decides to do some alone traveling again.
