A dog was abandoned at a train station in Scotland — along with a suitcase filled with his belongings.
Scottish SPCA officials are on the hunt for the owner of Kai — a Shar-Pei crossbreed who was left tied to a railing outside Ayr station along with a rolling suitcase containing a pillow, favorite toy, food and bowl, according to a Tuesday press release.
“Regardless of the fact Kai was left with his belongings, this was still a cruel incident and we are keen to identify the person responsible,” said SPCA inspector Stewart Taylor. “If anyone can help we would ask them to get in touch as soon as possible.”
The precious pup was sold on the UK classifieds website Gumtree in 2013, the press release said.
The SPCA is appealing for information to help track down the person who purchased him. Thanks to a microchip embedded in his body, charity workers were able to identify the canine.
“We contacted the owner registered to the microchip, who stated they had sold Kai on Gumtree in 2013,” Taylor said. “Unfortunately they could not tell us the address of the person who bought him.”
Kai, who is estimated to be around 2 to 3 years old, is now being cared for at the SPCA center in Glasgow.
“[He] is a lovely dog with a nice nature,” Taylor said. “We will look after him until we can find him a permanent and loving home.”
