Toodles, a tiny poodle, was revived with Narcan after he and his owner were found unresponsive on a Philadelphia street, according to the Pennsylvania SPCA. Officials say he has miraculously made a full recovery.
The Pennsylvania SPCA says a tiny poodle is lucky to be alive after they believe it suffered from a drug overdose.
The dog, now known as Toodles, was rushed to the facility by Good Samaritans after he and his owner were found unconscious and unresponsive in Philadelphia’s Kensington neighborhood. PSPCA wrote in a social media post that witnesses alleged the owner would ‘share’ drugs with the dog. Due to concerns that the dog may have ingested drugs either accidentally, or otherwise, vets at the hospital administered Narcan to Toodles. "It is unimaginable what would have happened if Toodles hadn't been taken to a veterinarian.
