Boston, a 4-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier, was f.o.u.n.d on the evening of April 28, 2016 on a route 158 bus in London. He spent the whole night there, heartbroken, thinking his owners had abandoned him. The driver had to launch an appeal on Facebook to find his family and decided to take care of him in the meantime.

Boston looked so depressed that no one could move him from his spot. With his sad eyes and heart-shaped face, we wondered how anyone could a.b.a.n.d.o.n this adorable Staffordshire Bull Terrier . The bus driver then decided to pick him up. Amos Paul Mak was, in fact, driving when he saw, through the rear-view mirror, 2 men and a dog on board. After a few stops, the animal got off alone. The driver then made a call through his microphone, but no one responded. “ He is very intelligent, he looked both ways when he got off the bus reported ,” Mr. Mak .

Lost, the dog finally changed his mind and got back on the bus. He stayed there until the driver arrived at the terminal . The staff tried to feed him, but he was much too sad despite the little A.t.t.e.n.t.i.o.ns given to him. “ I got back on the bus around 1am and the dog was still there. I stood there waiting with him for 20 minutes and petting him because he was getting more and more nervous. I would have liked to take him with me, but that was forbidden, because if he bit me, I could file a complaint against the company ,” says Amos Paul Mak .

Luckily, the dog finally ended up seeing his owner Paulina Ryback , who was so worried. The woman, a mother of two, explained that she lost sight of him while walking on Francis Road in Leyton , east London : “ In just a few seconds he disappeared. We didn’t see him leave. I started looking for him everywhere . “.

Paulina had directly notified her veterinarian and the local authorities to report her disappearance . Finally, the two friends were reunited after an identification procedure which ensured that it was indeed the owner of the animal. The woman said she was very happy and relieved to have f.o.u.n.d Boston : “ I’m so happy! When people lose their dogs, it can be very difficult to find them. […] He was barely 6 weeks old when we got him. He and my daughter are very close ”

To avoid losing him again, the owner had him implanted with a chip .
