A month ago, we shared the story of Bucky, a 9-month-old puppy who was looking for a new family.

NEW OWNER: Liliya Piotrovska has given 9-month-old Bucky a new home.

LUCKY BUCKY: 9-month-old Bucky was looking for a new family.

His Ukrainian owner, 15-year-old Herman, could not keep the dog in the hotel, so unfortunately the friends had to part. If Bucky hadn't found a foster family, the dog would have had to be euthanised. There was not enough time to find a new family for the dog... but we have good news for you.

Liliya Piotrovska, from County Cork, found out about the puppy from a friend who forwarded her a message about Bucky on social media.

“I had two dogs, but one of the Staffordshire bull terriers died six months ago. When I saw Bucky, I immediately understood that this is exactly my dog," Liliya said.

So very soon Bucky moved to a private house with a large garden and loving owners near Cork.

Liliya and her husband accepted the dog as a new family member. Bucky even has a friend, Sarah, an 8-year-old dog who also lives in the house.

It took less than a month for the dogs to start playing and sleeping together. Liliya says that Bucky is very smart and patient. In a few minutes, the new owner taught Bucky to follow simple commands - give a paw, sit and lie down. Now the dog is waiting for training and assimilation of new commands.

Bucky likes to play with a ball in the garden in his spare time. Also, he does not take a single step away from his new mistress.

We are glad that Bucky drew his lucky ticket!
