Scavenging canines have been left bleary-eyed after
inadvertently feasting on cannabis while on walkies in
northwest England.
Patch was one of several dogs "poisoned" after tucking in to
a package left on a walking track in greater Manchester,
British newspaper The Daily Telegraph reported.
"Patch was just totally out of it," said owner Neil Rogers of
his four-legged friend.
"When I got home he just collapsed and couldn't do anything.
I realised he had eaten something."
Mr Rogers returned to the track and collected the package,
the contents of which police later identified as cannabis.
Veterinary surgeon Lorna Cook, who treated two of the
intoxicated dogs, said: "I haven't seen anything like this
before.
"We had two dogs with similar signs in quick succession so we
knew there was something suspicious. Both dogs collapsed and
had dilated pupils."
All the stoned pooches have reportedly made a full recovery.
