A dog was found abandoned at a Scottish railway station alongside a suitcase of his belongings.
Kai, a shar-pei crossbreed, was left tied to a railing outside Ayr train station in South Ayrshire, Scotland on Friday.
Scottish SPCA inspector Stewart Taylor said that as Kai was microchipped, it was possible to identify his name.
The SPCA has not yet been able to find out who left Kai at the railway station and the charity is asking witnesses to come forward.
Stewart said: “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.
The SPCA is appealing for information to help find out who abandoned Kai
“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. If anyone can help we would ask them to get in touch as soon as possible” he continued.
Kai, who was left with a suitcase containing dog food, a bowl, a pillow and a toy, is currently being cared for at Glasgow’s SPCA centre.
