Hoggie The Doggie Trained to Sniff Out All-Ireland Final Tickets

15th Jul 2024

Search dogs have been employed by desperate Cork hurling fans looking for All-Ireland final tickets. ‘The Great Hunt’ commenced last week as the gallant Rebels defeated Limerick for the second time this season killing the Treaty’s designs on being the first county to do a five-in-a-row and sending Cork into an All-Ireland final against Clare.  

Canines like ‘Hoggie The Doggie’ (pictured) have been working day and night to sniff out tickets for people willing to do anything to get into Croke Park on Sunday. And we mean ANYTHING. 

Search handlers have reported a few successes so far with two tickets being found in the possession of a Kerry man in the illegally occupied north end of the Beara Peninsula. 

“There’s a very distinct scent from All-Ireland final tickets,” said local dog handler Barty Driscoll-O’Sullivan, “it’s like the bang you’d get when you cross the inside of a fancy bank with an old wet sliotar. The dogs can pick it up from 10 to 15 miles”. 

The search goes on.
