One person commented: "She is a gorgeous dog! What a wonderful story!"
Another added: "Buttons is a rags-to-riches story, going from days of not knowing if a human would feed her, or kick her, to being queen of someone's heart. She even looks regal.

Oasis in '05: 'I tell you what's even better than rock ‘n' roll and that's bringing up my kids. I love fatherhood, man'
Ahead of Oasis's sold-out Croke Park shows on August 16 & 17, we're taking a deep dive into the Hot Press archives – to hear Liam and Noel's incredible story in their own words… Noel's opinion of Don't Believe The Truth was shared by Liam, who felt it belonged in the pantheon of great Oasis records. The chat we had with him backstage at the Late Late Show was also memorable for some quality slagging of the opposition and a great drugs yarn… 'I'm down with this one, man. If it was our or anybody else's fucking debut, they'd be saying it's as good as Definitely Maybe. Morning Glory's a great record. Be Here Now's a great record, but the songs are too long. Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants and Heathen Chemistry had their moments, but this album really feels like we're getting somewhere. It's a band again.' 'Paul McCartney walked into our studio, had a chat and invited us to his studio where he played 'Hey Jude' live. So we returned the favour and ran through a load of our old stuff for him. You could see him listening out for any fucking bits we'd ripped off!' 'I tell you what's even better than rock 'n' roll and that's bringing up my kids. I love fatherhood, man. They're my best mates and I know everything about 'em. The one thing in life I won't compromise over is them – they come first every time, no fucking argument.' 'Bloc Party? It's like watching University fucking Challenge! There's nothing worse – except maybe Man U supporters – than whiney cunts in bands. If they were trying to find a cure for cancer, fair enough, moan away, but this is music we're talking about.' ' Chris Martin, who, along with his band, is signed to EMI, turned round recently and said: 'Shareholders are the greatest evil in the world'. How hypocritical can one man be? I listened to X&Y the other day and it's shit. If people think that's the dog's b**locks, they're tripping, man. Apart from it being a bit U2-ey, you can't hear any of their influences. It's not a crime to sound like you're a fucking music fan.' 'I done mushrooms when I was 15. Me and Noel used to walk around Lime Park in Manchester. We'd do 250 at a time, man. We used to fucking go mental. Me and my mate Darrell, his mum and dad had gone out and we'd done loads of mushrooms, and they'd come in about four o'clock in the morning, and we were out on the patio pushing these big giant chess pieces around – and there was nothing there! And his mum and dad were looking out the window, going 'Darrell, come in, what are you doing?' And I'd be pushing this fucking big pawn! We thought it was completely fucking there, man.'

Oasis Dublin stage times, support acts and when concert ends as countdown begins
Oasis fans getting ready for their two sold out shows in Croke Park this weekend may be anxious to check out stage times in case they are arriving in late, or don't want to miss one of the support acts. With the countdown ticking down, thousands of fans up and down the country, and from abroad, are packing their bucket hats and practising belting out tunes from the top of their voices. Support for Oasis throughout the tour has been consistent, with Liverpudlian indie rockers Cast taking on support duties, alongside The Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft.

Dublin museum offers deep dive into Oasis' Irish roots
As Oasismania reaches fever pitch in Ireland this weekend with the band's two dates at Croke Park, one Dublin museum is getting in on the act and offering fans a chance to take a deep dive into the rockers' Irish roots. EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum is presenting Definitely Irish: The Oasis Tour, an exploration of Noel and Liam Gallagher's connections to Mayo and Meath. All the original line-up of Oasis have Irish roots, with the brothers' parents, Peggy and Tommy, hailing from Mayo and Meath respectively. Liam and Noel spent many childhood summers in their ancestral home and both claim their trips to Ireland had a huge impact on their music and lyrics. Noel Gallagher has previously described the band's celebrated debut 1994 album, Definitely Maybe, as "the sound of five second-generation Irish Catholics coming out of a council estate." Guitarist Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs, who has rejoined Oasis for their reunion tour. has said that the Celtic blood of cities like Liverpool and Manchester that explains Ireland's outsized impact on Oasis' music. Speaking about Definitely Irish: The Oasis Tour, a spokesperson for EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum said, "It's impossible to overstate the significance of Noel and Liam Gallagher reuniting for a world tour. "The Definitely Irish Oasis Tour shines a spotlight on just how deeply rooted that heritage is, from the cultural backdrop that shaped their music to the emotional pull of home that still echoes through their lyrics." Oasis are due to play to 160,000 fans this Saturday and Sunday night in Croke Park in what will be their first Irish shows since they played Slane Castle in summer 2009.
