Dolly Parton offers to adopt abandoned Glastonbury dog named after her

Dolly Parton has said she will adopt a dog that was left behind at Glastonbury if no-one comes forward to claim it.

The white lurcher was found by clean-up workers at the festival and named after the American country star, who headlined on the Pyramid Stage last weekend.

"I had my manager call the Happy Landings animal shelter to make sure the dog is being treated and cared for properly," the 68-year-old '9 to 5' singer explained.

"At this time, nobody has claimed the dog and the dog is in great hands at the shelter. I will take her home to America if nobody claims her within a reasonable amount of time."

The animal shelter caring for Dolly has apparently received many calls from concerned members of the public, after she was discovered in a hot tent with some food but no water.

Dolly the dog is described as a "sweet-natured older lady" and arrived at the shelter with a serious ear infection, which has now been treated.
