You can see I got carried away.  There are so many great photos of Irish dog-lovers to share.  See more here.  Last but not least, is this image of Patrick Sullivan's bar.  I hope you can find a place like this to meet your friends, raise a pint, and most importantly, bring your dog…

    Thanks for stopping by Moira. Saw these beautiful photos first thing this morning, but didn’t get a chance to leave a comment. Will definitely check out the rest of the library’s archives – thanks for the tip!
