Two brother dogs, who are adopted, have been reunited after their owners spotted a likeness in photos posted on Twitter.

To mark National Dog Day, people have been posting images of their furry friends using the #NationalDogDay.

Irish Times journalist Paddy Logue posted photos of his dog, Fenton, who he got from Dogs Trust Ireland in April 2018.


While Conor O'Malley, a research assistant at Trinity College Dublin, replied with photos of a very similar-looking dog - named Toby.

Conor says Toby came from Dogs Trust Ireland in May 2018.

In a reply to Paddy's tweet, Conor suggested: "I think our dogs are long lost brothers!"


Paddy immediately spotted the resemblance, saying: "Wow that's mad very alike. Same blue collar too!"

It was then that Dogs Trust Ireland did their own sniffing around (no pun intended), and found the two are actually brothers.

It said: "I've just checked our database and happy to let you know that Fenton and Toby are brothers.

"They are so alike (and so beautiful)! Lovely to virtually reunite the siblings on #NationalDogDay".

Tail wags all round!
