Ashes of 'much loved' dog left on Scottish train to be returned to pet owner after months in lost property
The devastated pet owner left the urn on a train in May.
A woman who accidently left the ashes of her “much loved” family dog on a train from London to Edinburgh four months ago will be reunited with them.
The small red urn, which was held in the arms of a teddy bear, was handed to station staff in Aberdeen and put into ScotRail’s lost property in May.

British Transport Police (BTP) recently issued an appeal to help find the owner of the urn, which they thought may have contained human remains.
BTP officers said that the owner of the urn has now contacted them and are working to find a way to return them to her.
A BTP spokesman said: “Following a recent appeal, we were contacted by a lady who had lost an urn on a train to Edinburgh in May.
“We are now arranging the safe return of the urn – which contains the ashes of a much-loved family dog – and the teddy bear, which the lady has owned since childhood.
“We thank everyone for sharing our appeal.”
