There's a partial resolution to the heartbreaking story of the Shar-pei mix abandoned at a Scottish train station last week with a suitcase full of his stuff. The Scottish Daily Record reports the doggie we knew as Kai—whose real name turns out to be Pluto—is doing just fine now, but the story of his abandonment is just as sad and full of shitty human tricks as you imagined.
When Caleb "Kai" Lawrence McGillvary, the hitchhiker hero, was arrested yesterday for allegedly killing a man police believe he'd had a sexual romp with, some were stunned. How could someone who'd seemed as hippy-dippy harmless and heroic as McGillvary turn out to be a killer? Sadly, if a Facebook post on what appears to be McGillvary's account is to be believed, a tendency toward violence may have been bred into him via a torturous and traumatic childhood.
You might remember Kai, Pauly Shore's Encino Man character come to life, from earlier this year when he helped save a Fresno woman who was being attacked by a violent racist. Kai's chill-bro demeanor and quick thinking in the face of danger—he beat the crazed man down with hatchet blows to his head—briefly made him the internet's new favorite meme. But was the drifter hero everyone was celebrating also a deadly maniac himself?
A homeless, hatchet-wielding hitchhiker named Kai is being hailed as a hero after saving a woman from the clutches of a bear-hugging racist who claimed to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ.
God bless Kai's rapidly beating dog heart, he tries and tries and tries but that "stick" just won't budge.
