If you’ve listen to the show before, you’ve most likely heard me say “Don’t Play With The Taxman!!” a bunch of times. A family in Germany learned the hard way as to why you shouldn’t play with the taxman!

Apparently they owed quite a bit of money in back taxes. Just like any good Government would, the authorities showed up at their house to seize their valuables including the family pug they bought! 

So you’re most likely wondering why? Why would they take the dog? Well…it turns out Germany has a “dog tax,” which they did not pay.

In order to recoup that tax, city officials sold the family’s dog on eBay for $850 . . . That’s half of what purebred pugs sells for.

The story doesn’t end there though… it gets messier,  city officials must have not known that the pug needed four surgeries because they advertised the  dog as having a “ clean bill of health” and now the new owner is suing city officials for falsely advertising that the dog had a clean bill of health!

Morale of the story as we head into tax season…Stay on TOP of your TAXES!!
