HELP: Have you seen this beloved mascot that was lost in Kilkenny?

A visiting student has appealed to the people of Kilkenny for help after a much-loved travel mascot went missing in Kilkenny City.

The mascot's journey is tied to an uplifting mission for children in hospital and the student is hoping locals might spot 'Wolfie' or have picked the mascot up for safekeeping.

"Wolfie has been traveling with us with the sole mission of taking pictures for children that are sick in hospital back at home in order for them to travel to Ireland through Wolfie," the student explained.

According to the appeal, Wolfie may have been lost around the entrance to Kilkenny Castle where buses park, perhaps in the vicinity of Kilkenny Design Centre, or perhaps the area by and behind Lanigan’s Pub.

If anybody finds Wolfie, they are being asked to bring the mascot to Lanigan's Bar, as the student 'is long time friends with the owners of the bar and lodging, so they'll take good care of Wolfie for us'.
