ROUGEMONT, N.C. — A emu who went viral for his escape from his home has found a new family.

Meet Doug! Last week, he was missing for at least one night.

He's since given up his rebellious spirit and joined The Blind Spot Animal Sanctuary in Rougemont.

He'll join two other Emus named Aphrodite and Darwin.

According to the sanctuary, there's a love triangle going on between the three! They say Doug is fitting in nicely with the drama.

Earlier this month, Person County Animal Services posted to Facebook on Monday about an “emu at large” on Burlington Road.
