A city in Germany is facing a possible lawsuit after debt collectors reportedly seized a family's pug and then sold the animal on eBay. The unidentified family is alleged to have failed to pay off all their debts, which includes a dog tax, to Ahlen, which is a city in the northwestern part of Germany. The family's pug, Edda, was seized after the authorities were unable to find anything in the house of value to fulfill the debt.
The Associated Press and Deutsche Welle reported that the pug has a high value because it's a thoroughbred dog. Edda was sold on the online e-commerce site in December last year for 750 euros, which is approximately $853.
