A lot of different things end up in lost property bins - phones, wallets, sunglasses.
But Dublin Airport has got a new category to add to that - puppies.
The small dog, thought to be about six weeks old, was discovered beside the multi-story car park at Terminal 1.
He was found by a member of the public at around 9.30am Wednesday.
Dublin Airport say the puppy "is playful, content, fit and healthy."

The dog was in a blue plastic box with a blanket. He has since been sent to a local vet for a check-up.
"The person who found him initially thought it was a baby, as there was movement", a daa spokesperson told Newstalk.com.
The owner of the puppy is asked to contact Dublin Airport Lost Property on 01-814-5555 - or else contact the airport on Facebook or Twitter.
A veterinary nurse will look after him and he will be re-homed if no owner emerges.
He needs a name. Somebody had suggested Snowball. Perhaps Noel due to the season. But who ever heard of a dog called Noel. Ideas? #puppygate pic.twitter.com/ik0w301lVI
