US airline pilot adopts dog abandoned by traveler at airport

One very good boy finally has a very loving home.

A puppy abandoned at the San Francisco International airport was adopted by an air pilot just in time for the holidays.

The young dog, named Polaris, arrived at the US airport on an international flight, but its owner decided to keep traveling without him following paperwork difficulties for the animal, according to the San Francisco SPCA and news reports.

The animal welfare organization and United Airlines then worked together to find a forever home for Polaris, and Captain William Dale, a United pilot, and his family adopted the pooch.
