Dog horror: Bernese mountain dog Malu has been missing for days!

In a shocking incident, Bernese mountain dog “Malu” has disappeared and her owner, Silvia S., finds herself in a true nightmare. During a walk last Saturday, “Malu” tore himself off the leash, startled by something, and ran away. Since then, the search for the dog has been intense. The “Dog Search Aid Austria” was switched on, trained search dogs and drones with thermal imaging cameras were integrated into the search Krone.at reported.

The trail of “Malu” led to Untertriesting, where she was apparently taken by a driver. The problem? The finder has not yet reported to the police, which is required by law. Silvia S. emphasizes: “Malu is of course chipped and registered.” This means that the finder's remains fall under the law of embezzlement, which is a punishable offense. A finder's fee of 2,000 euros has already been offered.

Legal basis

The case also raises questions about the legal treatment of found animals. In Austria it is a legal requirement to report found animals to the police in order to rule out possible fraud. If a finder ignores such an obligation, he is acting illegally. The importance of such laws, which are ultimately intended to ensure the protection of pets, is particularly evident in this dramatic case. Anyone who is serious about the well-being of “Malu” must adhere to these rules German Stack Exchange reported.
