A dog has been rescued and is waiting to be re-homed after losing his owner and family in the Jeju Air crash.
The poor pooch, called Pudding, was found roaming the streets alone in a village after he failed to return back home.
His 79-year-old owner had taken a trip to Bangkok, Thailand, along with eight other members of his family.

The man’s wife, two daughters, a son-in-law, and four grandchildren were on board the flight that tragically crashed on Sunday (29 Dec).
The Jeju Air plane came off the runway before colliding with a barrier and bursting into flames at Muan International Airport, in South Korea.
In total, 179 people were killed in what has been recorded as the deadliest aircraft crash in South Korean history.
Pudding’s owner was the oldest victim in the incident, as reported by Need To Know.
Animal rights group known as ‘Coexistence of Animal Rights on Earth’ (CARE) have now been able to rescue the dog.
According to the organisation, people in the village of Yeonggwang County, South Korea, had become concerned about Pudding.
Some had been giving the dog food after spotting it staring at passing cars and buses, visibly searching for his family.
CARE reached out to the family of those killed and decided to take Pudding into their hands until a guardian for the dog is found.
Pudding has since been admitted to a veterinary hospital in Seoul so that various health checks can be carried out.
Upon being rescued, it was noticed that he kept vomiting contents such as chicken bones and onions which dogs should not consume.
CARE will look after Pudding until he finds a new home.
