| This heartrending photo of a dog cruelly abandoned on a London bus went viral. |
The dog looked so dejected at being abandoned. I'm sure a few people who saw the photo shed a few tears. How could anybody just leave such a wonderful dog on the bus to fend for itself?
You can see the photo here, near the top of this post.
What would prompt such cruelty?
The good news is the dog, named Boston, was not abandoned by his human family. He might have been kidnapped and abandoned by his kidnappers, but that's quite another thing.
Plus, bus company employees took good care of Boston while everything was sorted out. And the publicity associated with the viral photo ensured Boston came back home.
Last Thursday Boston's owner, Paulina Rybak, took him outside like she always does to do his business and he just disappeared.

The suspicion is kidnapping because the bus driver who found Boston abandoned on his rig also vaguely recalls the dog getting on the bus with two men.
Sounds like the two men might have grabbed Boston, then decided not to hang on to him.
The bus driver said Boston was very scared when he found him, and he and other staff did their best to comfort him.
Rybak went to the town council and animal shelters and other places looking for Boston, but no luck.
Then the photo went viral, and Rybak spotted the picture of Boston on the bus on the Evening Standard web site.
The family has since been reunited, Boston is back home in good health, and all is well.
Sometimes the internet can be a horrible place. But sometimes, it's wonderful when it helps dogs like Boston and his human companions.
