Investigators are trying to find the person who abandoned a puppy in the Back Bay Wednesday afternoon, according to a published report.

Boston's animal control unit told the Boston Herald someone tied up the little pup to a tree outside the Westin Hotel at the corner of Dartmouth and Stuart Streets.

A hotel manager noticed that no one had picked up the dog, so he called police.

One man claimed to be the pup's owner, according to the paper, but he couldn't provide proof and left.

The dog is three-to-six months old, well behaved, and either a shepherd-lab mix or shepherd-akita mix.

For now, he's staying at the city's animal shelter.

If no one claims him in the next week, he will put up for adoption.
