the essentials in brief
- On Friday, a woman from Zurich had her car stolen with a dog on board.
- She quickly got the car back – but the Pomeranian has disappeared.
- After 24 hours of a successful search, the story has a happy ending.
For a dog owner from Zurich, Friday actually started quite normally: In the morning she drives into town by car – as always, Pomeranian Rex is with her.
Because the dog himself is in the car, Romana Grumetter does not lock the car in Kanonengasse. Then the shock: When she comes back, there is no trace of the vehicle or the dog!
Dog was “swallowed off the face of the earth”
“The thief was probably looking for valuables in the car,” explains the 30-year-old to Nau.ch. “She found a spare key that I didn’t know about in the glove compartment.” Grumetter wasn’t driving her own car that day, but a replacement car.
Per Apple-Air-Tag, the woman from Zurich was able to follow the thief driving across Zurich. The car was left exclusively at the cemetery Mettmenstetten However, Rex was nowhere to be seen.
“I looked for the dog everywhere. But he was swallowed up by the earth, »said the woman from Zurich. She made flyers – although nobody seemed to have seen the five-year-old dog.
After 24 hours of uncertainty, the financial advisor received the redeeming message from the police on Saturday: Rex was picked up in a bush – the leash was gently wrapped around his neck.
However, Grummer finds it strange that the pomeranian has reappeared so suddenly and there hasn’t been a single report before. “I think the thief felt the pressure,” she says. “After the media reports, he noticed that the dog was being looked for.”
Do you have a dog?
Happily is the quadruped unadorned when he with his owner is reunited. But: “He was totally exhausted, ready to go,” says the woman from Zurich, who has three other dogs in addition to Rex. “A night without mom, that’s the horror.”
Back at home, Rex is spoiled for the time being. “I took him home straight from the police and brushed him,” explains his owner. “I was overjoyed to finally have him with me again.”
