| Drug-Sniffing Dog ODs On Evidence
Quote: A drug-sniffing dog was recovering in a veterinary hospital -- with his human partner at his side -- after accidentally ingesting methamphetamine, KCAL in Los Angeles reported.
Thousand Oaks Senior Deputy Dean Worthy said that Balu, a 4-year-old German shepherd, had been commanded to search for a bag of drugs near where a suspect had dropped something else.
"He did his job," Worthy says. Balu alerted to a bag of meth.
However, Balu must also have inhaled or licked up some remnants from the bag. Hours later, he had a bad reaction.
Worthy said the dog had a seizure in the back of his patrol car that last more than two minutes.
He took his K-9 partner to a veterinary hospital where he appears to be on the road to recovery.
But Worthy said that he also has a bed near Balu's, because the dog gets separation anxiety if he tries to leave and tries to tear out his IV lines.
