David Bowie's son wants to find a home for a dog named after his dad
LONDON -- David Bowie's son Duncan Jones has made a Twitter appeal on behalf of a homeless dog named after his father.
Bowie is a 3-year-old lurcher -- a type of dog that's a cross between a sighthound like a Greyhound and a terrier -- currently being kept at Dogs Trust Bridgend in Wales, UK. He has one blue eye and one brown. According to a press release sent to Mashable, his condition has caused him to be overlooked.
The story made the news in Wales, and it wasn't long before it had caught the attention of Jones.
On Thursday, the director posted a series of tweets appealing to people to help Bowie find a home.

David Bowie's eyes appeared to be a different colour due to a condition called Anisocoria, according to this piece in the Independent, which was caused by an injury that left one pupil permanently dilated.
