Just two weeks ago, a nationwide appeal launched to help find RSPCA Brent Knoll 's longest-staying dog a permanent place to call home.
Thanks to the incredible support of followers across the world, terrier Buddy has found his happy ending and a forever family at last, after spending 515 days in kennels.
The senior dog - who was was almost euthanised by his previous owner - has "settled in very well" and hasn't stopped playing ball in his new home.
