I believe you have seen the film Paddington based on British books from the 60s ago where a fictional bear arrives at a station in London alone and without knowing where to go.
When this happened to a dog, in reality, his story touched many people.
Kai, a young Sharpei mix dog, was found abandoned at a train station in Scotland, U.K. next to a suitcase full of his belongings.
He was in desperate need of an eye operation and was clearly confused as to his predicament. His viral story sent animal lovers into a frenzy as offers to take him in flooded in from all corners of the globe.
In 2015, he was found alone with a suitcase containing a toy, a pillow, and a bowl.
The Scottish SPCA scanned Kai’s microchip which led them to a previous owner who claimed he sold Kai back in 2013. No one could identify his new owner.
A woman from Aberdeenshire, Scotland, told the Daily Record that the dog’s abandonment was the result of an attempted sale gone wrong.
The woman said she responded to an online ad and agreed to buy the dog for about $600 but changed her mind once she arrived at the train station to meet the seller, according to a CNN article.
She said the owner left before she could speak with him and she had to leave abruptly fearing she’d miss the last train. She was also concerned about her daughter who suffers from asthma.
Abandoning animals is a federal offense under Scotland’s Animal Health and Protection Act of 2006. Anyone found guilty is prohibited from owning other animals.
Thankfully, there is a happy ending to Kai’s story. Among the hundreds of people who came forward to adopt Kai, one lucky dog lover was chosen.
Ian Russell was chosen as the most suitable person to be the adopter. Now Kai has a family.
