In November, a court had, therefore, full-dipper and two employees of the city in front of the door stood, with a search warrant. First you want to take the wheelchair of the husband to take, but it was only borrowed. Then they decided to Edda, the family dog, a pug lady. “The dog got the highest value, I was told,” the woman in the “day sheet”. On Samichlaustag Edda was picked up, before the eyes of the children. The family miss the dog pain.
New owner sued the city
in December, a policewoman from Wülfrath in the Rhineland came across an Ad on Ebay classifieds: “for sale Sweet pug lady with a pedigree! Not castrated!” Negotiating price 750 Euro, the animal was healthy. Will be sold by a private provider, state as,his or her name was called. As the pug is interested in the COP dialed the number provided, landed at the city administration Ahlen. The seller of the employees who had seized the dog on behalf of the city.

Not uncommon
The town are the many reports in the press uncomfortable. Ahlens mayor Alexander Berger (CDU) informed the incident to enlighten.
