Dog Locks Mother Out on Balcony While Baby Remains Inside

A Munich mother was reunited with her baby after a neighbor calmed the family dog, allowing emergency responders to resolve the unusual situation.

On Monday evening, a young mother in Munich was accidentally locked out on her balcony by her dog, leaving her six-month-old baby alone inside the apartment.
The dog reportedly closed and locked the balcony door with its snout, trapping the mother outside.
The mother called the Munich fire department, which arrived promptly and opened the apartment door but was unable to enter due to the dog's defensive behavior.
A neighbor familiar with the dog successfully calmed it down and opened the balcony door, enabling the mother to return to her baby.
The incident occurred in the Ludwigsvorstadt district and highlights the critical role of both emergency services and community support in resolving domestic emergencies.
