Due to a howling noise that lasted several hours from a forest area near Schmalenbuchener Straße in Neuhaus am Rennweg (Sonneberg district, Thuringia) called concerned residents to the scene on Tuesday, November 10th around 8:30 p.m. The alerted police officers were able to locate the noise shortly after 9 p.m. and discovered a dog tied to a pasture post.
The mayor and the administrative management of the city of Neuhaus am Rennweg were informed immediately.

The dog was about ten years old, an Akita-Inu mix, and was not in good condition.
