After the brutal murders of Shanann Watts and her daughters, family dog Deiter gets a new forever home

The little dog would often feature on Shanann's social media posts and can be seen in the videos running around the five-bedroom home the family lived in

Dieter, the dog who belonged to the Watts family before tragedy struck, has now found a new home with Frankie Rzucek, Shanann Watts' brother. Right after the 34-year-old pregnant mother and their two young daughters, 4-year-old Bella and 3-year-old Celeste, were found dead and Chris Watts was arrested and accused of their murders in August, Dieter went to a friend's house for some time.

The tiny dog has finally found its forever home with Rzucek in North Carolina after losing his former family, PEOPLE reported.

Rzucek posted an endearing video on Facebook last week of the pooch running around in his backyard. He wrote: "He gets a little nervous here and there because he’s not used to … my Chihuahua and her attitude lol. He’s starting to figure out she’s all bark and no bite."
