World Cup Fever?

Hard to tell: "Unknown perpetrators over the weekend painted a Maltese dog black, red, and gold -- the colors of the German flag -- in Schleiden-Oberhausen (near Cologne). On Sunday afternoon a 47-year-old woman brought the animal to a police station in Schleiden. She had let the originally white dog out of the house around 11pm on Saturday and waited until 5am for it to come home. (Normally the dog spent only a few minutes outside.) She decided to bring the animal to a veterinarian, where its entire coat had to be sheared in order to remove the paint, according to reports."

I don't know how much help we can be from Berlin, but there's a phone number: "Hinweise nimmt das Kriminalkommissariat Schleiden unter der Tel. Nr. 02445-858730 entgegen."
