A dog abandoned at a lonely Siberian bus stop has a new owner this Christmas after waiting in vain some six months for his master to return.
The loyal pet refused to budge, even when temperatures sank to minus 30C, getting excited only when grey-coloured cars passed by.
'This is such a faithful dog, we think his unknown master had a grey car,' said local farmer Sabyrgali Baysagurov who tried and failed to catch the mongrel.

The faithful dog was abandoned in Mametkino village in Siberia, 1,547 miles east of Moscow
'He would chase only cars with this colour hoping to find his owner..'
The dog was abandoned in the summer when Siberian was warm.
In recent weeks temperatures slumped and locals left food for the dog who was christened Hachiko after a legendary Japanese pet that waited more than nine years for its owner who had died.
Hachiko's owners left him at the Mametkino bus stop in summer when it was warm, but he waited six months for them to return during which time the weather fell to -30C
Villagers gave up trying to remove the animal and provide it a home, instead taking daily food to the bus stop.
In autumn, they even put a kennel at the spot in autumn but the dog preferred to lie on straw given by local pensioners and watching for the few passing cars in Mametkino village 1,547 miles east of Moscow.
When temperatures sank to a bone-chilling minus 30C, the food froze before the abandoned dog could eat it.
Villagers tried to re-home the dog several times, eventually leaving him a kennel, but he did not want to move
Volunteer Irina has now given Hachiko a new home in time for Christmas with her other pets - a St Bernard dog and two cats
His desperate plight was reported in the media in Novosibirsk region and eventually a team of animal rescuers drove 250 miles to save the animal amid concern grew that this Russian Hachiko's loyalty would lead to his death.
Baysagurov was quoted saying: 'It is freezing now but the dog is still there, waiting for his master.'
Volunteer Alexey said: 'We read about the dog and came to rescue him next day.

'He did not trust us, and did not want to come close.
'We tried many options, but after an playing "catch me" game my colleague Irina managed to throw a blanket over the dog and we took it into the car.
'We warmed him up, he became much more friendly.'
Irina: 'I simply admire this dog, his faithfulness.
'It is not what you always see with people.'
She has now given him a new home in time for Christmas with a St Bernard dog Beethoven, and cats Marusya and Ivan Ivanovich.
The Russian Hachiko is 'doing well' and seems happy in his new home, she said.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
