The animal, which has probably escaped several times, ran alone through Füssen at night. However, a backyard and stubborn officials abruptly ended the excursion of the freedom-loving donkey.
The hunt for a runaway donkey kept the police in Füssen busy on Tuesday night. According to her owner, donkey Lotte had broken out again and ran through the city in the Ostallgäu district, the police said. The animal did not obey the police’s stop signals, and the officials’ first attempts to capture them were also unsuccessful.
Only when the animal fled into a backyard could the police catch Lotte and tame her with slings. The officers led the donkey to the police station and tied her to a tree. The animal was handed over to its owner on Tuesday morning.
