Hot dog survives locker ordeal at Germany's Neuschwanstein Castle
Neuschwanstein, a picture-postcard castle with surging turrets nestled in the Alps near the border with Austria, is one of Germany's top tourist attractions.
Despite it being a hot summer's day and half the locker already having been filled by a pram, the woman locked the dog inside the small space and left to tour the castle, police in the nearby town of Fuessen said in a statement. Security staff were alerted and freed the dog, they added.
'The dog was fortunately unharmed but visibly glad when it was rescued from the already hot locker,' the police statement said, adding that officers deployed to the scene took him back to the police station.
The police did not specify what breed the dog was but said it was of 'medium' size and about 60 cm tall at the shoulder. An officer on duty at Fuessen police station contacted by telephone said the dog was a mongrel.
Police said they had initiated criminal proceedings against the owner on suspicion of breaking Germany's animal welfare law. — Reuters

Not so ‘lucky customer' after all: Terengganu kindergarten teacher loses over RM108,000 after pawning jewellery in online job scam
KUALA LUMPUR, July 8 — A kindergarten teacher lost RM108,703 — a sum that included proceeds from pawning her jewellery and borrowing from friends — after falling victim to a non-existent online job scam. The 32-year-old woman realised she had been scammed and lodged a police report at the Kuala Terengganu District Police Headquarters at 2pm yesterday, according to a report published by Kosmo! Online. Kuala Terengganu District Police Chief, Assistant Commissioner Azli Mohd Noor, said the incident began when the victim was contacted by the scammer on June 20, claiming she was a 'lucky customer' and entitled to win a prize. 'She received a parcel containing household items on June 28 and was then asked to provide feedback. 'The suspect also requested her e-wallet account number to deposit a so-called RM8 credit before assigning her tasks such as clicking on certain links that were claimed to lead to other rewards,' he said when contacted by Kosmo! today. Azli said that between July 1 and 3, the teacher made several transfers to the scammer, supposedly as part of the tasks and for penalties due to delays in completing them. He added that last Friday, the victim was instructed to transfer an additional RM75,000. 'In desperation, the victim sought urgent loans through two agents who provided links. She then made deposit payments into five different bank accounts, but the loan money was never disbursed,' he said.
