Kelvingrove Park visitors shocked to see ferret on leash being walked by owner

Sun worshippers were baffled when they spotted a ferret being walked through Kelvingrove Park by its owner.

The animal was pictured wearing a harness attached to a leash enjoying the attention shown to it by passers-by last Thursday, June 1.

The 'cute and polite' ferret basked in the sun and quickly caused a crowd to gather. One onlooker, Josh, initially thought the small furry animal was a dog but as he got closer he quickly realised it wasn't.

Josh told Glasgow Live: "I thought it was just a really short height-wise, long-haired Dachshund or something so I was just interested to see what dog breed it was.

" I wish I wasn't in such a hurry because I'd have certainly stopped to pet it.

"There was a few folk crowded round and the owners seemed dead nice, holding it up to let a wee girl pet it too."

The ferret was a hit with onlookers (supplied)

A stunned Josh quickly posted the images on Twitter.

He tweeted: "Seen quite a few strange things in Glasgow but a ferret getting walked through Kelvingrove is certainly up there (it was very cute and polite x)"

Sadly he wasn't able to get the ferret's name but hopefully the happy pet enjoyed their day out.
