After a young dog named Kai was abandoned in a railway stations, the Scottish SPCA is doing what they can to find him a new home, and track down the person who abandoned him. 

The dog was found in Ayr Station in Ayrshire and, in a strange twist, he had a suitcase full of his belongings including some toys and a bowl. After being alerted to the case, the Scottish SPCA arrived and discovered that the dog was chipped, and so they went about trying to find his owner. 

When they scanned the chip and contacted the number that was registered to him, they found out that the person had sold the dog on Gumtree in 2013 and that they didn't have the address of the person they sold it to. 

Scottish SPCA inspector Stewart Taylor said "This case highlights the potential consequences of selling an animal online as it often leads to the impulse buying of pets that people know very little about. 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". 

As the case has gotten plenty of publicity since they found Kai, largely due to the fact that he was found with a suitcase, they are hoping to find a permanent home for him soon, while they continue to track down the person who abandoned him, as doing so is an offence and they can be banned from owning animals for life as a result.
