The Victorian man who raised more than A$5000 to bring a stray Labrador he found on the side of a road in Greece to Australia has made the heartbreaking decision to part with the animal.
Jacob Welsh and Chance's story was broadcast around the world last week after a crowdfunding campaign raised enough money to fund the stray's planned seven-month journey through the Australian quarantine process.
But Welsh decided the stress and trauma of a trip Down Under would be unfair on the Labrador.
Welsh has agreed to hand Chance over to a family in England who recently lost their own Labrador.
"She has been through a rough time as it is, so as heartbreaking to me as this is, I know this is the right decision for her sake," the Geelong man posted on Facebook.
