Dog up for adoption

Burton told an international media that she was on her way to school and as she boarded the bus she noticed the dog without an owner. Burton realized that the dog, despite wearing a harness was searching for someone as she could see the dog sniffing around the bus. She further added that the dog seemed sad and the way it was sniffing it looked like she was finding someone. The UK-based animal care centre immediately took the dog in their care and as per the legal system of the UK, the kennel had to keep the dog for seven days before putting up for adoption.
