Is Buttons the secret behind Oasis reunion? Liam Gallagher's love for rescue dog
Liam Gallagher recently adopted the puppy from Thailand and even dedicated a song to her.
A dog sanctuary in Thailand claims Oasis' surprise reunion is all down to a rescue dog it gave Liam Gallagher.
Happy Doggo arranged for the bad boy of Britpop to adopt street pup Buttons after he fell in love with her on the rescue centre's social media pages.
The clever pooch found her own way into the sanctuary after being abandoned in the jungle as a puppy.
A year ago she flew 14,000 miles to Liam's home and since then the rock 'n' roll hardman has been smitten – sharing a photo online of himself kissing Buttons and taking her for walks, and even admitting he no longer likes touring because he misses her.
He told the Johnathan Ross Show in March: "Yeah, it's terrible, man. I don't wanna go on tour no more. I wanna stay at home with her."
At recent gigs the newly chilled Liam, 51, has dedicated Oasis' hit Half the World Away to Buttons - because she used to live half the world away.
And just this month he donated the globe that hung above the stage during his latest tour to Manchester Co-op Live arena – in return for a £25,000 donation to Happy Doggo.
Yesterday Niall Harbison, the Irishman who runs the charity in Koh Samui, wrote on X: "Little Buttons came into our little sanctuary @wearehappydoggo
in Thailand looking for help. "A year ago I delivered her over to @liamgallagher and her perfect forever home.
"I told her you are safe Agent Buttons, now get to work getting the band back together…
"Buttons didn’t know anything about the music industry as she’d been dumped alone in the jungle but she said she’d try her best.
"She said all she knew how to do was be nice to everyone so she would try that. She had landed on her little paws.
"All joking aside, dogs have a wonderful influence on humans. I tend to think they bring out the best in so many of us. @liamgallagher has been a big supporter of everything we do at @wearehappydoggo and it means the world to so many other dogs still suffering."
Then, sharing a video of Buttons at Liam's home, he wrote: "This is Buttons now. Her main job in life is already complete at such a young age. "She lives the life of a queen, gets her own private gigs and loves her new family. She looks so relaxed and stunning. "Buttons says that love is the answer."
On Instagram Niall posted the video, too, writing: "Buttons says she is very happy here. And no, she doesn't have any tickets!"
Meanwhile Happy Doggo's Instagram account jokily labelled Buttons "bad dog of the week" for "knowing about the Oasis reunion for months and not even messaging us to tell us back here!"
