Firefighters offer comfort to anxious dogs after car crash<\/p>\n

While their owner was weak from a car accident, Palm Beach County firefighters held two dogs to calm their anxiety.<\/p>\n

A dog was rescued from a valuables locker at a famous castle in Germany after its owner allegedly locked her pet inside the locker so she could visit Neuschwanstein Castle, police said, Reuters<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

According to German police, the woman allegedly locked her pet inside despite objections from other tourists. The woman is alleged to have locked the dog inside despite it being a hot summer’s day in southern Germany.<\/p>\n

Apart from the high temperatures, the locker space was made even tighter for the dog by a stroller inside the same locker. According to reporting from Reuters<\/a>, security staff freed the dog after being alerted by other tourists.<\/p>\n

“The dog was fortunately unharmed but visibly glad when it was rescued from the already hot locker,” police said.<\/p>\n

Police said that criminal proceedings have begun against the owner on suspicion of breaking Germany’s animal welfare law. Reuters<\/a> reported that the dog involved in the incident was a mongrel, or an unknown breed.<\/p>\n

Located in southern Germany near the Austrian border and completed in 1886, Neuschwanstein Castle famously served as the inspiration for Sleeping Beauty’s castle in Disneyland<\/a>.<\/p>\n
