The family could not pay its debts, so their German town council went looking for assets to seize.
Officials, armed with a search warrant, found a laptop, a coffee machine and the wheelchair of one family member, according to reporting from the German publication Die Glocke.
Most valuable of all, though, was the family’s beloved pet — Edda the pug.
The 1-year-old female dog was valuable to the family, of course, because she had provided comfort in trying times, they told local media. But she was valuable to town officials, too, because Edda was a purebred. So authorities from Ahlen, a town 25 miles southwest of Munster, seized the pug and assessed her value at $850.
Then they listed her for sale on eBay...https://thestarphoenix.com/news/world/a-family-couldnt-pay-the-bills-so-the-city-took-their-dog-and-sold-it-on-ebay/wcm/48462728-7ff8-4b99-bce2-afe8b7b6ce73
