Luke Mabbott and Lucie Donlan have welcomed a new family member

Former Love Islanders Lucie Donlan and Luke Mabbott have taken a big step in their relationship this week as they introduced fans to the newest member of their family. The couple, who have been together for nearly a year now, have made things really serious by adopting a dog!

Luke and Lucie’s new arrival

Luke and Lucie’s new furry friend is named Bunny—because she was rescued on Easter—and is a 6-month-old Labrador/Romanian Shepherd cross. She was found hiding under a car whilst living on the streets. Despite her rough start in life, Luke says she’s ‘gentle, caring and loving’ whilst Lucie praised her kind nature.

The Pack Project

Lucie and Luke both shared adorable selfies posing with their new pup to their Instagram feeds, explaining that they rescued her from Romania via a charity called Pack Project. Fellow former Islander Olivia Attwood also adopted her puppy Lola from the Pack Project organisation last month.

Lucie wrote on Insta:

Rescuing a dog means so much more to me and Luke, and it’s something we’ve both wanted to do for a very long time. Giving this lovely little girl a new life means the world to us.. we will make sure she has the life she deserves.

Meanwhile, Luke wrote:

Bunny has lived half her life with no love, no home and no family. @thepackprojectuk have been amazing through everything and have helped so much! Can’t thank them enough for giving us my dream dog and also a bestfriend for life. I’m saying sorry in advance because you're going to get dog spammed!

No complaints from us Luke!
