Bosun the dog has found a new family.
A story about the 5-year-old Rhodesian ridgeback/corgi and his need for a new home was published in last week's Bay of Plenty Times Weekend.
His late owner had been anxious to find a new home for the dog before he died last month.
Pensioner Alan Rittey asked Tauranga Vets for their assistance to find a new family for his pet after finding out he was dying. John and Suzy Crimmins, who have adopted Bosun, have two young boys - Arthur, 4, and Clive, 2.
"Now we have another," Mr Crimmins said.
