The man from Hattingen an der Ruhr had summoned the ambulance on Tuesday for pain and was taken to a clinic.

Since his dog was left alone in the apartment, he gave the officer his apartment key with the request to pick up the pet. The police wanted to temporarily house the animal in animal welfare.

But when they opened the front door, they immediately missed the smell of the plants. Against the 24-year-old is now determined. The dog brought the dog - as promised - to animal welfare.
