Dog with suitcase offered over 100 homes

An animal charity has been inundated with calls from people offering a new home to a dog found abandoned at a railway station with a suitcase filled with his belongings.

Kai was discovered tied to a railing outside Ayr station on Friday accompanied by the case containing items including a pillow. The shar-pei crossbeed is now being cared for at the Scottish SPCA’s centre in Glasgow, with the charity keen to trace his owner.

A spokeswoman said they had received more than 100 calls yesterday from the public interested in offering Kai a new home. The dog was sold on the Gumtree website in 2013 and the charity is appealing for information to help trace whoever bought him.
