Overdose-reversing drug administered to puppy after possible fentanyl exposure in California
- A pit bull puppy in California was believed to have gotten into its owners' fentanyl stash and was administered an overdose-reversing drug. The owners were arrested and could face charges of drug possession and animal cruelty. The incident occurred during a consensual encounter with the police.
- This was the second time the dog had overdosed, according to the female owner. It is unclear how the dog was exposed to fentanyl. Fentanyl is up to 50 times more powerful than heroin, and a small dose can be fatal to humans.
- The dog's quick recovery was attributed to the administration of overdose-reversing naloxone. The owners remain unidentified, and the authorities will decide on whether to return the dog to them after a hearing.
