Legal Battle Over Mops 'Edda' Returns to Court

The case of a sold and allegedly unhealthy pug resurfaces in court as the buyer seeks compensation from the city of Ahlen.

The dispute involves a pug, originally named Edda, sold via eBay Kleinanzeigen after being seized by the city of Ahlen in 2018.
The buyer, a police officer, claims the dog was sold with undisclosed health issues and is demanding around 19,000 euros in damages.
A previous court ruling awarded the buyer only 226 euros plus interest for vaccination costs, a decision now under appeal.
The case has garnered international attention, being covered by media outlets in China, Russia, and the USA.
The Oberlandesgericht in Hamm will hear from a specialist who previously examined the dog, with a verdict potentially expected on October 21.
