Loyal dog searches buses every day in hunt for his missing master

A loyal dog that routinely appears at a bus stop to search for its master has won over hearts in Chengdu.

“Every day I go to Guangyan temple five times, and every day that dog will hop on board my bus to give it an ‘inspection,” a ticket seller surnamed Yang told Huaxi Metropolis Daily reporters. “At first I thought it was looking for food, but I later realised that it was looking for its owner.”

According to Yang, the dog would be at the bus stop at eight in the morning, and would not miss checking hers or any of the other vehicles that stopped by until about six in the evening.

A worker of the Guangyan temple parking lot, named Gou Huiqun, told reporters that Huang Huang would immediately peer at the windows of any buses that stopped by before jumping on board and sniffing about, occasionally looking up at the passengers.

Some bus drivers recalled seeing Huang Huang with its master at the temple half a month ago. But they could not say with any certainty what had happened to the dog’s owner, and most assumed that Huang Huang had been abandoned.
