Passau (dpa / lby) - They felt terrorized by their yapping dog: In Passau, a couple barricaded themselves in a room in their apartment because they couldn't cope with the behavior of their mixed breed.

As the police announced on Sunday, the animal imported from Dubai is said to have yelped the evening before and tried to pinch its owners.

The two 60-year-olds called the police.

The four-legged friend showed itself to the dog handler from its best side and was completely peaceful.

The police took the dog to an animal shelter.

To be called because of a small mixed breed and not because of a fighting dog is not everyday for the police, said the spokesman.

"I've been a police officer for 31 years, but I've never seen anything like it."
