German city seizes dog to settle family's debts!

[Catherine]

Quote:I can't imagine the woman who bought the dog doing this....but the sweetest thing to do would be let all that money go, and give the dog back to her family. I would do that.

It would be a very good thing to do. I wonder if she would consider doing it.

I hear you about the feelings of ill-omen. 

It is troubling that a pet can be seized to cover debt.
It is troubling that the dog was auctioned off. That makes it worse.

Purebred dogs are now worth a lot of money. 
They could become the objects of seizures, thefts and even kidnappings.(Dog Nappings?)

They are already stealing dogs to eat in China. This could become a very dangerous time for people's pet dogs. It will help if the city backs down and undoes the damage they have done to this family and their dog.
