As Oasis took the stage for the first time in 16 years, Liam Gallagher gave a heartwarming tribute to his dog Buttons who he rescued from Thailand two years ago
As Liam Gallagher reunited with his brother Noel Gallagher on the stage for the first time in 16 years, he gave a heartwarming tribute to his dog during their first gig back. As they took the stage in Cardiff to open their iconic reunion tour, an image of the dog named Buttons was included in the visuals on the big screen behind the brothers.
Buttons has a wild life story of starting out homeless in Thailand to finding a home with one of the Oasis frontmen. Niall Harbison, who founded the Happy Doggo sanctuary in Thailand, explained the dog’s wonderful story online, which triggered a huge response from fans.
He explained that the dog Buttons was an abandoned puppy who walked into the sanctuary while it was being built and ended up getting adopted by none other than Liam Gallagher.
Naill wrote on X, formally known as Twitter, “Most people were probably looking at Liam Gallagher and Oasis on stage, Look a little closer and you’ll spot a dog called Buttons.
“Her’s is a remarkable story. Buttons was a little puppy who walked into our sanctuary in Thailand in the middle of the jungle just as it was getting built. She had been abandoned. She kept coming back daily for food and hoping for company.
“Day after day Buttons came back. I eventually took her in and put her up for adoption. Little did I know but Liam and his partner Debbie had been following. After a long process she was adopted to them in the UK.”
The sweet dog could be seen in multicolours on the big screen with a button on either side of its adorable face while the brothers performed to a huge crowd.
Continuing the story, Naill added: “Buttons has grown into a beloved member of the family and landed on her paws. Liam has been a big supporter of We Are Happy Doggo, and donated his globe from the last tour to raise funds.”
“I don’t think Buttons realises her dad is a rock star. She just loves her humans. So if you are wondering why there is a dog on the Oasis screens now you know. Well done Buttons. I think you can say you’ve made it when your dad has you on the big screen.”
One person wrote in response: “She is a gorgeous dog! What a wonderful story!”, while 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.”
In addition, Oasis delivered a touching tribute to the late footballer Diogo Jota. The Gallagher brothers performed their 1994 classic Live Forever in memory of Jota, who tragically passed away at the age of 28, along with his younger brother, following a devastating car crash on July 3.
