Hundreds of people including BBC presenter Andrew Neil have offered to adopt a dog abandoned by his owner in the streets just days before Christmas.

A man was captured on CCTV abandoning the white and black Staffordshire bull terrier type dog in Stoke-on-Trent.

The footage, recorded at around 5pm on Monday 17 December, shows a car pull up on the corner of a road.

A man is seen leaving the passenger side of the car carrying a dog bed, and leading the dog, before unclipping the lead

He then ran back to the car which then drove away as the distressed dog chases and jumps up at it.

Mr Neil, who hosts This Week, took to Twitter to express his outrage at the man's actions and said the pooch , which is now in the care of the RSPCA, could be rehomed with him.

He said: 'So disturb by this footage. I say to RSPCA. If you have trouble rehoming this little dog. I will take it, gladly.'

The RSPCA, which has put out an appeal to find the man responsible for abandoning the dog, said it has had hundreds of offers to rehome the dog, named Snoop by staff.

The dog was found sitting in the bed by a passer-by during within an hour of it being abandoned.

The passer-by took him to a local vets who called the RSPCA which said the dog is not up for adoption while an investigation into its abandonment was underway, according to The Telegraph.

RSPCA inspector Natalie Perehovsky said: 'The footage has to be seen to be believed, it's just awful. To see the poor dog in such obvious distress jumping up at the car as it drives away it just heartbreaking. I can't understand how someone could do this.

'The vets scanned his microchip and we have traced two previous owners in the Birmingham area, but do not believe either are the current owners, and therefore not those responsible for abandoning the dog.

He's a beautiful dog, and I hope it all works out. Would like for the "owner" who abandoned him to be caught and publicly flogged.

After going through so much in the public eye, however, Snoop finally has something to smile about: He’s been adopted. His new dad, Laurence Squire, couldn’t be happier to be the lucky person who brings Snoop home.

“One evening I was watching the news when Snoop’s story came on,” Squire said in a statement. “What happened to him was shocking, and it was clear from the footage — in the way that he tried to get back into the car — that he was a loyal dog.”

Snoop is definitely loyal — so loyal, in fact, that his rescuers from the RSPCA say he’s prone to separation anxiety.

Luckily, Snoop’s new dad works from home, so they’ll be able to spend a ton of time together.

While it’s only been a few weeks, Snoop is already settling in beautifully, and his new life couldn’t be any more perfect for him. Rachel Butler, an RSPCA spokesperson, said Snoop seemed to be extremely comfortable with his new family on a recent home visit.

“The love and attention he is getting now from Laurence is wonderful,” Butler said. “Snoop is living like a king.”

Snoop is napping, playing and running around just like the happy dog he was always meant to be — but still, he doesn’t let his new dad stray too far from his sights.

Why the fuck is there a wooden fence in the middle of his house?
