There two Irish wolf hounds were companions of Fionn Mac Cumhail, leader of the legendary Fianna. There mighty warriors had their home on the near by hill of Allen. (down the round from me) Kildare was their hunting ground and they raced their chariots on the curragh plain. Fierce and faithful, renowned dog their hunting skills. It was bran and Sceolan who found Sadbh. The future wife of Fionn and they who rescued Oisin. Fionn's son on the slopes of Ben Bulben
