He shared adorable pictures on social media
The Murray family were heart-broken when he revealed the devastating news on social media in November last year.
Murray previously described Rusty as his beloved and loyal companion along with his other Border Terrier, Maggie May, who sadly passed away two years earlier in 2022.
Writing on social media at the time, grieving Murray posted: "You were the most loyal and protective companion our family could have wished for.
"You were so patient and gentle with the kids and we all learned so much from you.
"The house feels empty without you in it.
"The noise you made when you wanted a plate to lick, or a biscuit to chew on, or when you wanted anything for that matter, was infuriating at times!
"But today we would do anything to hear it again. Love you Ruzz, rest easy poppet x."
Fans flooded his Instagram page with messages of support following the tragic news as they expressed their sympathy for him and his family.
But this morning, Murray thankfully had some wonderful news to share with his followers as he uploaded pictures of him alongside his new pup.
He shared two snaps of the young pup - one of him sitting next to the dog and another of the canine relaxing in their family home.

Tyson Fury's dad John urges son to stay retired following major U-turn
Tyson Fury has been training recently and has confirmed he will be coming out of retirement to face Oleksandr Usyk for a third time next year and his dad John has had his say John Fury would prefer to see his son Tyson stay retired following the boxing legend's recent change of heart. Back in January, Tyson Fury declared his surprising retirement from boxing after suffering consecutive defeats to Oleksandr Usyk. Nevertheless, he has since hinted at a possible comeback by sharing numerous videos of himself running and working out in the gym. This month, Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh confirmed Fury will return to competition. "The 'Gypsy King' will be back!!! I talked with him, and I have his word to have him in Riyadh Season in 2026. We have a rabbit to hunt!" he posted. Fury subsequently revealed that he will face Usyk for a third encounter - with the bout scheduled to take place next April. The 36-year-old took to Instagram and shared a fight poster featuring both himself and the Ukrainian, accompanied by the caption: "April 18, 2026 Wembley Stadium. The trilogy! UK. contact @spencerbrownmrgoldstar for tickets." Whilst the 'Gypsy King' appears to be preparing for a boxing return, his father wishes his son would remain retired. Speaking to The Stomping Ground, he said: "People want to see the Gypsy King, but I would rather him stay retired. He's done his bit for the boxing world. He still loves his fans and he thanks them all very much for what they've done, but it's only my opinion only I'd like to see him stay retired," reports All Out Fighting. Fury Sr recognises that fans are eager to witness the Brit return to action, but the 60-year-old remains firm in his stance. "Health, and he's got a family, he's other commitments apart from boxing," he continued. "He's done what he has to do in boxing, as far as I'm concerned, and he's got a lot of young children he wants to be a father to, and he wants to be a healthy father, not somebody that's ended up an imitation or one, you know. "So it's health before wealth. He's got the wealth, he's got everything else, he just needs to calm down and concentrate on what's important." Regarding his return, Fury informed supporters at a BoxFest event prior to Daniel Dubois ' clash with Usyk that he is anticipating his comeback. "For sure. I am open to offers at the moment. I am not going to do any comebacks this year. That is a fact. I have been busy. As you can see, I have got Netflix here. I am filming 'At Home With The Furys! Season 2," he said. "And next year, the big 'G K' is going to make a f****** comeback. The takeover! I am going to be 37 in about three weeks so I am going to be the oldest swinger in town. With all these young boys coming up, it is going to be difficult, but I believe I can put on some very good nights still." As for who he wishes to fight, despite being open to offers, he will not face both Agit Kabayel and Joseph Parker. The two-time heavyweight champion has trained with both men in the past and shares a close bond with Parker. "They are my two brothers," Fury expressed. "They are both lovely guys and they are both future world heavyweight champions. Agit Kabayel and Joseph Parker... he has been a champion before so he knows what it is about. I wish them all the very best in the world and I won't fight either man for any amount of money because some things ain't worth fighting for." When will Tyson Fury step into the ring next? Fury is expected to make his comeback next year, despite rumours of a clash with Usyk. Alalshikh is keen to arrange a bout between the 'Gypsy King' and Anthony Joshua. During a recent stint on 'The Boxing Voice,' Alalshikh disclosed that both fighters would need to participate in tune-up fights first before facing each other. "Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury next year, we are trying to do it and we are thinking about it," he stated. "Why? Because they are both coming off losses. It's to build it up." Frank Warren, Fury's promoter, recently gave an update on his star client's future and revealed that the Brit has reversed his decision to retire. In a chat with talkSPORT, he shared: "He's been talking about it a little bit. Some calls took place and there's an agreement made, that's all I can tell you at the moment." The 73-year-old added: "He has retired, up until he said he was coming back. Look, Frank Sinatra retired a lot. Like I've said to you before if that's how [Tyson] feels in the moment, that's how he feels. We'll see what happens, but he feels he wants it fight Usyk again."

Bebe's ‘light, care and spark' live on a year after Southport attack, family say
The six-year-old was killed along with Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, when Axel Rudakubana launched his knife attack on the Taylor Swift-themed dance class in the town on July 29 last year. On Monday, a post on the Instagram account of Bebe's Hive referenced the youngster's 'favourite musical' Wicked with the quote: 'Because I knew you, I have been changed for good.' Bebe's Hive was set up by her family to provide support for grieving children through creativity and connection. The post, which appeared to have been written by Bebe's mother Lauren, referred to her as 'my mini me' and 'her dad's soulmate'. Flowers and tributes outside the Atkinson Art Centre in Southport last year (Paul Currie/PA) It said: 'It's time for us to take the space we need. To feel, to breathe, to hold each other close. To just be. 'To be able to create something so purposeful, so needed, has given us a strength we didn't know we had. A reason. A focus. 'We love and thank every single person who has helped us carry this. 'I feel her with me every day and that feeling is what keeps us going. 'Her light, her care, her spark – it lives on, and we'll continue it for as long as we can. 'To our incredible family and friends – thank you for keeping us afloat, while trying to keep yourselves above water. Thank you for loving Bebe so deeply and for riding this forever journey with us. 'To our amazing community – I don't think you realise what you've done. To everyone further, we also thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 'Your kindness has saved us. 'To Elsie and Alice, we never had the chance to meet you, but we feel like we know you. Your light shines so brightly through your parents, and we're proud to walk alongside them.' In a reference to the Taylor Swift song Bejeweled, the post went on to say: 'Our girls' energy will continue to shimmer. 'And to every brave child, every adult, every family whose lives were changed forever that day – we see you and we're sending you so much love.' A video of Bebe dancing and playing with a bubble machine accompanied the caption, along with photos of her. Sefton Council has asked people not to lay flowers to mark the anniversary of the attack but instead to consider donating to causes including Bebe's Hive, as well as Elsie's Story and Alice's Wonderdance, which were set up in the victim's memories. A three-minute silence will be held in the town at 3pm on Tuesday.
