This is a sculpture of Fungie, a bottlenose dolphin who has lived in and around Dingle Bay in County Kerry, Ireland for 37 years. He has brought much joy to visitors and residents over the years. Unfortunately, he has not been seen for over a week. A large scale search is underway.
Fungie holds a place with Guinness World Records for being the longest-lived solitary dolphin in the world. He is thought to be in his forties.
I am sending good thoughts his way…
May you live as long as you want,
Irish Blessing
And never want as long as you live.
Very appropriate this week! Poor Fungie – there’s still hope that he’ll turn up again. XXXMarie
Yeah, I hope they find him but he’s lived a good long life. 🐬
Fungie came to greet us many years ago when we were sailing in Dingle Bay and he’s the sweetest creature. We send him good thoughts too 💜
Many people were touched by his presence.
