PeopleLuke the rescue dog has finally found love.
In February, the 5-year-old shelter pup from Kent, England, earned the title "heartbreaker" when he made headlines for getting stood up at his Valentine's Day-themed adoption party. Before the poorly-attended event, Luke had spent over 200 days at the Battersea Brands Hatch shelter.
Luke's story of being unlucky in love touched many who felt "shattered," according to a release from Battersea, about the dog throwing a party where nobody came. News of the pup's bad luck spread worldwide, leading Battersea Brands Hatch to receive mountains of mail from Luke's growing fanbase. Many of the dog's admirers sent him toys, handwritten love notes, donations, and letters expressing their interest in bringing the canine home.
Karl and Jill Kendrick of Derbyshire, England, were among the many who inquired about adopting Luke home after learning that the dog got stood up at his Valentine's Day adoption party. After learning about the Kendricks, Battersea Brands Hatch found that the couple, and their two daughters, would make the ideal forever family for Luke.
