Dog abandoned at train station just with suitcase
The Scottish SCPA, Scotland's Animal Welfare Charity, is seeking information for a dog who was abandoned at a railway station with only a suitcase to its name.
Kai, a male shar-pei crossbreed, was found tied to a railing outside the station with a suitcase including belongings of a pillow, toy, food bowl and food, according to a press release.
"We contacted the owner registered to the microchip, who stated they had sold Kai on Gumtree in 2013. Unfortunately they could not tell us the address of the person who bought him," Inspector Stewart Taylor told the Scottish SCPA.

"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," Taylor said.
The Scottish SCPA plans to take care of Kai in the meantime.
"Kai is around two to three years old and is a lovely dog with a nice nature. We will look after him until we can find him a permanent and loving home," Taylor said.
According to Scotland's Animal Health and Welfare Act of 2006, anyone found guilty of abandoning an animal can expect to be banned from keeping animals for a fixed period or life.
In 2013, the Scottish SPCA rehomed 6,563 animals and released 2,939 wild animals back into their natural habitat. More information on the Scottisch SCPA can be found below.
