When the state heard the story of Eastwood, the special-needs Labrador left behind at a Northern Michigan humane society after the "Empty the Shelters" event last weekend, thousands shared the word of a dog needing a home.

While Eastwood's story gained the attention of more than 80 adoption applications this week, UpNorthLive reports his new family is none other than Detroit Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy's. The shelter typically waits a couple of days to formally announce an adoption, but a spokesperson for the shelter confirmed with UpNorthLive that it was a couple from the Detroit area to win the rights to Eastwood.
