IF YOU FOLLOW Irish Ultimate Fighting Championship athlete Cathal Pendred on Twitter, the chances are that you’re familiar with his dog Ringo.
Back in September, Pendred came across Ringo as a stray near his home in Dublin but he was unable to locate his owner.
Whoops!

The mixed martial arts star quickly took a shine to the pooch, however, and Ringo soon cemented his status as an official member of the Pendred clan.

I loved the article myself. A welcome bit of light entertainment.
Maybe, just maybe, the most ridiculous article ever….
Lol Mark, I agree 100%. Paul is allowed to drop the ball once I’d suppose, his articles are usually very good.
So why did ye click into it? What were ye expecting from an article called Reasons a fella’s dog is cooler than you?
Mick, it’s an article about an MMA fighter, I’m an MMA fan. Now breathe slowly and don’t get too excited. Good lad.
Lighten up a bit
As a kid I would always find stray dogs and sit with them for hours hoping someone would come and take them home. The process of going home knowing I couldnt bring them was always a heart breaker for me. Articles like this make me happy that there are others in the world that feel that way too. :) Good for Cathal.
What is the fascination with Pendred? Does he pay ye to put up these articles?
Hi Jim,
If that were the case then we probably wouldn’t be earning very much as this is the first article about him we’ve had in seven weeks (16 March was the last one). I’m not sure that constitutes a fascination, but to answer your question, we report on Cathal as he’s an Irish sportsman who many of our readers are interested in.
Thanks and all the best,
Paul
