More than 100 people have offered a new home to a dog left a railway station with a suitcase containing his belongings.
The Scottish SPCA had calls from people as far away as California and Tennessee after the story of shar-pei crossbreed Kai being abandoned at Ayr station in South Ayrshire made the papers all over the world.
The animal welfare charity hopes to rehome Kai once he has had surgery to his eyelids, which are curled under meaning his eyelashes touch his eyeballs.
"He needs surgery which is quite a common procedure. He won't be able to leave till he has had that so he will be with us for the next three to four weeks," a spokeswoman for the charity, which is based in Glasgow, said.
Kai, who is aged between two and three, was found tied to a railing outside the station with the case containing items including a pillow, toy, food and a bowl.
Alan Grant, a senior animal care assistant at the Glasgow centre, said: "It would certainly have been very distressing for him at the time he was abandoned.
"He has been tied up to a fence and watched his owners walk away and leave him, and that's distressing for any dog, even if you just tie your dog up outside the shop and go into the shop, most dogs will panic so it must have been very, very distressing for him watching his owners walk away.
"He's settled into the centre not bad and he seems very people-orientated, but it's certainly not the right manner to leave any animal in."
The charity said abandoning an animal is an offence under the Animal Health and Welfare (Scotland) Act 2006 and anyone found guilty of doing so can expect to be banned from keeping animals for a fixed period or life.
The dog was sold on the Gumtree website in 2013 and the charity is appealing for information to help trace whoever bought him.
