A small purebred dog has become a big headache for authorities in a German town who seized it over unpaid taxes and sold it on eBay, only to face a lawsuit over medical bills from the new owner.

The family pug, named Edda, was bought online in December for the knock-down price of 750 euros ($850) from authorities in the town of Ahlen. Year-old pugs like Edda normally fetch double the price.
