Tears around tick: Marko Z. fights for his loyal companion

Tears around tick: Marko Z. fights for his loyal companion

in Neubrandenburg is the relationship between man and dog in the focus of an emotional argument in which the probably a 17-year-old dog, tick is at stake. The loyal shepherd terrier mix was recently taken into care by the regulatory office, and its owner, Marko Z., feels abandoned by the authorities.

Dog owner and the financial problem

The problem began when Marko Z. fell behind with over 3250 euros dog tax. This ultimately led to ensuring ticks. Z. expresses that he had initially paid the dog tax but took a stop, since there were still many dog piles on the streets. This financial burden not only represents a personal crisis, but also raises questions about the responsibility and procedure of the regulatory office.

The relationship between Z. and Zecke

Marko Z. describes Zecke as his "anchor point" and compares his bond with the dog with a child. They share not only the habitat, but also significant moments, such as the “container” of food, to make ends meet. Neighbors of the two testify that tick was always well fed and friendly. These positive reports throw a different light on the general perception of the dog, which now lives in an animal shelter.

The incident of June 18

The drastic incident occurred on June 18. According to the city, there was disagreements to ensure the dog. Z. denied to have resisted, and reports of three broken ribs, which he supposedly contracted in the argument. "I just wanted to go to my dog," he says. Now it remains unclear how the situation continues and whether tick can soon return to him.

Animal protection and the city administration

Kurt Kadow, chairman of the Neubrandenburg Animal Welfare Association, got to know Marko Z. during his work in the animal shelter and sees the dog tax a crucial reason for securing. He states that his background research showed that the claims from dog tax are only valid for up to four years. This raises essential questions about how the city deals with such financial irregularities.

Hope for return

At the moment Marko Z. remains hoping that he will get his dog back as soon as possible. He is concerned about the well -being of ticks in the shelter, where he fears that the dog could not survive this. "I don't want the tick to die in the shelter. It has to tip over outside on the street," Z. appeals to those responsible. The city has made a payment offer to him, but it remains unclear whether tick will come back before the debts are paid.
