Millions of people around the world watched heartbreaking CCTV footage of a man abandoning his dog just days before Christmas - now he has got his happy ending in a new forever home.

A man was captured on CCTV leaving the Staffordshire bull terrier type dog by the side of a road in Stoke-on-Trent. In heartbreaking scenes, the dog chased after the car as it drove off.

Snoop is still suffering from separation anxiety, as a result of his abandonment, and needed a home where someone was around all day.

Thousands of people were moved by the CCTV footage and offered to give Snoop a home including his namesake, LA-based rapper Snoop Dogg.

The RSPCA say Snoop and his owner already have a strong bond - Snoop is living like a king.
