LOU WATERS, CNN ANCHOR: Before we go, a canine orphan of the fighting in Kosovo gets a new home.</s>NATALIE ALLEN, CNN ANCHOR: Not only did the Labrador pups win the hearts of peacekeepers, Tim Rogers tells us, he may also be leading the way for helpless other strays.</s>TIM ROGERS, ITN REPORTER: Reunited at last, one man and a dog he was to save. Lance Corporal Steve Smits (ph) was so fond of the crossed Labrador puppy he found in the rubble of Kosovo that he began a letter-writing campaign for permission to bring home. And today, with quarantine at an end, Oscar was finally his.</s>LANCE CPL. STEVE SMITS: You see a puppy, and you can't just drive by. I'll do my best to try to get him back to the</s>U.K. ROGERS: Filmed here in Kosovo, Oscar was adopted by the army in Pristina, where it seemed he might have to stay. But he was brought to Britain thanks to the help of the World Society for the Protection of Animals and British Airways, who provided a free flight. Hundreds of other dogs haven't been so lucky. Abandoned by their owners at the height of the war, they're still left to roam the streets. The charity than helped rescue Oscar says in the future, it will try to find homes for these dogs in their own country. But for Oscar, today was the first day of his new life, and he clearly couldn't wait to start. Tim Rogers, ITN, Wilshire.
