Kilkenny's Nose of Tralee, Alfie
This handsome Kilkenny dog is in the running to become this year's Nose of Tralee.
Alfie is a good boy and is proud to be representing his county in the competition. His bio reads: "Well firstly, he never stops using his nose and sticking it in things‚ He is a loving, friendly, goofy and happy boy. He adores everyone and everything he meets. His favourite things to do are bring me for a walk, eat everything, play with his favourite humans (Sofia, Phoebe, Poppy, Alex and Rhys), getting belly rubs, washing his cat brother called Tatters and zoom around the garden. We all love him to bits and think you guys would too if he gets to meet you xxx".
