Dog with note left on man's doorstep
'Take care of Mr. B and find him a new home'

KIRKLAND, Wash. (CNN/KING) - High above Lake Washington in a Kirkland neighborhood, Paul Wu pulled his car out of his garage and did a double take, noticing a dog he'd never seen before.

"He would not go away," said Wu.

So Wu took a closer look.

"I find this bag hanging around his neck, some paper in there, and it says 'open,' and so I open it up and I find a note. It says 'Please take care of Mr. B and find him a new home. He is a King Charles Spaniel, 6 years old. My parents got divorced, and Mr. B was supposed to go to the pound. I think he has a better chance with you. This is my birthday money,'" the note said.

Robert Kuchcinski heard the story at the office he shares with Wu. He agreed to take the dog home to his wife and three kids where Mr. B is acting happy.

"Makes you wonder what kind of spot they're in and if they're OK too," said Kuchcinski.

Both Wu and Kuchcinski still wonder what the full story is behind the curious case of Mr. B.

"All I want to do, is let this person know, that we found him a good home. That's the whole message," said Wu.

Kuchcinski says the dog didn't have any tags or a microchip, but that Mr. B was healthy and given a clean bill of health by the vet.

I'm glad that Mr. B found a good home. Pups like to have a family and especially some kids to take care of.
