Owners of the dog that Dolly Parton offered to adopt after it was abandoned at Glastonbury have come forward to claim it.

The dog nicknamed Dolly was being looked after by the Happy Landings animal shelter after it was found in a tent by cleanup workers.

Dolly Parton caught wind of the story and said that she would adopt the pooch if its owners were not found.

The animal shelter released the following statement: "We would like to let all the supporters of Dolly dog know that her owner came forward and they were reunited this evening. Although we have concerns and unanswered questions, legally we have had to hand her back...

"Dolly was delighted to see her owner and vice versa. There were tears all round. We have passed on all medication and the owner will have a programme of care to uphold that was started here with us, which will be monitored...

"We understand people's disappointment with this outcome. We did seek legal advice from different sources but had no other option."
