Preferably one involving a baby rabbit wandering around Dublin Airport - hey, wonder if he knows this dude? - amidst treacherous weather conditions before enjoying rescue from the big-hearted staff patrolling the area.

Watch the dramatic rescue sequence below.

Adorable, and yet another example of the incredible work carried out by public transport workers across Ireland in an exceedingly difficult week.

They've only gone and named her, for it is indeed a her. Say hello to Emma.

Fine work on the 'hareport' pun, too, in fairness...
