Fan photos show Fungi the dolphin in Dingle has a new companion

Fungi the dolphin and pals play about in Dingle Bay

Jeannine Masset and Rudi Schamhart of the ‘Fungi Forever’ Facebook group caught some beautiful snaps of the famous Fungi the Dingle dolphin playing with two pals this weekend.

Masset and Schamhart says they've spotted other dolphins in Dingle Bay "on several previous occasions over the years”.

It seems that these two visitors were different. They were welcomed by the Dingle tourist attraction, Fungi.

They said "On other occasions during visits of other dolphins, he might hide near the rocks or defend his territory.

However, they added "these two were very welcome".

Apparently the trio played about "the whole day and evening".

New York woman spends $25,000 flying horses to Donegal for retirement

New Yorker Cynthia Wong

New Yorker Cynthia Wong flew her two horses over to Ireland so they could retire in Co Donegal. Transporting the horses cost $25,000.

She told the Belfast Telegraph about the decision, “After much thought, I made the decision to take my horses to a place that is peaceful and an area that has soft ground for their feet.” She added, “My trainer and his wife recommended Donegal and it wasn’t an easy decision because it meant that I couldn’t see them every weekend.”

Transporting the horses from New York to Donegal was an extensive and expensive process. Wong told the BBC, “They had to fly to Amsterdam for a while before they were transported to Dublin and then Donegal.” Despite the long travel, Wong wanted to make her pets were happy. “Yes it was expensive, but my animals are my priority. I have cats at home and some of their bills can get quite high too. It was important for me that they were going to a happy place.”

One of the horses, Toy, died last year, but 30 year old Mist is doing well. “Mist’s real name is Irish Mist and he really enjoys the Irish weather and the air.”

Wong occasionally visits them. “I try to come at least twice a year. I know they are fine but I just like to see them. Donegal is the most wonderful place for them”

One of the Boston Marathon Bombings youngest victims performed the national anthem at the Boston Red Sox baseball game along with the children’s choir of St. Ann’s Catholic Church on Sunday.

Jane Richard, 7, lost her left leg in the blast on April 15 last. Her brother Martin, 8, was the youngest of three killed in the bombing.

The crowd gave a thunderous applause as little Jane walked out onto the pitch wearing her prosthetic leg with the choir director.

The girl sang 'The Star-Spangled Banner' with other young talents on Sunday and led her home team to victory. The Boston Red Sox won their game against the Detroit Tigers by a score of 6-5.

Jane’s family shared an update about her progress back in August, four months after the bombing. "Jane continues to be an incredible source of inspiration — and exhaustion. The loss of her leg has not slowed her one bit, or deterred her in any way."

"When she is able to have it on, she struts around on it with great pride and a total sense of accomplishment," they said. "Her strength, balance and comfort with the leg improve every day."

On Wednesday night the celebrity trio were snapped at a sit-down dinner at Fire Restaurant, next to the Mansion House on Kildare Street.

As the photo shows camera phones were out in force to capture the moment.

Here’s the video of Clinton on Piers Morgan's show:
