The dog ended up in the pre-trial detention center of the Sperchiada police station in Fthiotis. But not as punishment for a crime.
It’s just that her owner was hospitalized in Athens, and the problem of where to leave a pet for this time “rose to its full height.” It seems fantastic, but in such cases, the animals really have nowhere to go.
As writes lamiareport.gr, The police officers have been looking for someone who could temporarily shelter the dog for a long time, but… in vain. There are no such institutions, and the sick person has no relatives or good friends who would take care of his pet. In the end, a way out was found – the dog was placed in a cell at the police station.
The staff lovingly cares for the temporarily orphaned animal, but this incident highlighted the need to address a long-standing problem: how to protect animals in such emergency situations.
