Luke Bryan has a new four-legged friend.
The “American Idol” judge and wife Caroline Boyer recently rescued an 18-year-old dog named Poochie, whose previous owners gave him up after he developed allergies, according to the Proverbs 12:10 Animal Rescue.
Taking to social media, the Nashville-area rescue organization wrote on Facebook on Monday that they secured the senior canine after believing he would “be a forever hospice foster.” Little did the group know that Bryan, 42, had been keeping an eye on Poochie.
“After reading about Poochie on our social media, Luke Bryan and his beautiful wife, Caroline applied and adopted Poochie this past Saturday! He is pictured here with his new mom, Caroline and his previous foster, Lacy Marie! He is loving life on the Bryan farm and soaking up all their love. Who knows, maybe Poochie will inspire a country song! ThanksBryans!#CherishTheOldForTheyAreTreasure,” Proverbs 12:10 shared.
On Tuesday, Bryan responded to a story written about the adoption, telling his fans on Twitter, “Loving my new buddy.”
