An Asda Enniskillen delivery driver rescued a customer's lost dog while on his delivery rounds.

Ronan McManus, who has worked for Asda Enniskillen for four years, was on his usual route when he spotted a red setter running loose along a country road.

He recognised the dog, named Ruá, as a regular customer's pet.

Concerned for Ruá's safety, Mr. McManus coaxed her into his van and made a detour to the owner's home.

The family was overjoyed to be reunited with their pet, who had escaped earlier that morning.

Anne Malanaphy, Ruá’s owner, said on Facebook: "I just want to thank the Asda driver who recognised my red setter Ruá who had done a runner this morning and coaxed her back home, I really appreciate his kindness."

Mr. McManus said: "I’m just glad I was able to help.

"When I saw Ruá, I knew she was too far from home, and I couldn’t just leave her.

"It’s all about being a part of the community and looking out for one another, so I was delighted I was there."

Christopher Currie, online trading manager at Asda Enniskillen, said: "We are extremely proud of Ronan for going above and beyond his duties to help reunite a family with their missing dog.

"We all love our pets dearly and no doubt the family were distressed at their missing pup.

"Ronan is always willing to lend a hand, so his kindness comes as no surprise to those who know him well – well done, Ronan."
