A Limerick man helping a swan cross the road has become a hero on Facebook
ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON, Limerick Animal Welfare got word that there was a loose swan on Sarsfield Bridge in the city centre.
Unfortunately, they were 25 miles away, so one man had to step forward to help the swan cross the road and guide it back to the safety of water.
And that man was Jack

The charity shared the photos on their Facebook page on Sunday evening, and it’s a story worthy of a cutesy Hollywood movie:
“Our sincere thanks to you Jack. You did yourself and Animal Welfare proud and most of all you helped a bird in need when we could not be there.”

The photos they provided – taken by Deirdre Power – show Jack making sure the swan stayed away from traffic and are pretty much the most adorable thing Irish Facebook has seen in quite some time.
Be grand
