LONDON (Reuters) - A police sniffer dog has died of a suspected overdose while out hunting for drugs, police say.

 

Todd, a 7-year-old Springer spaniel, had been looking for drugs in a field and car in Preston when his handler noticed he was looking unwell.

 

He was taken to a vet and then rushed to an animal intensive care unit at Liverpool University, displaying symptoms of ingesting amphetamines, a Lancashire police spokeswoman said.

 

He died shortly afterwards.

 

The death was said to have devastated Todd's handler, Police Constable Roger Moore, his wife and two young children.

 

"He (Todd) lived with them and they would all go for walks with him -- he was their dog," Sergeant Peter Crane of Preston's dog unit told the Daily Mirror.

 

"He's going to be very difficult to replace, but police work is dangerous and unfortunately Todd has become a casualty."

 

Police said a post mortem on Todd was being carried out.

 

 

I was going to post this.

 

Fucking classic.

 

He had had a habit for a while apparently.

yeh, seems even animals like the odd chemical too eh

Poor little falla. A damned shame, he was only two days away from retirement.

 

he had already spent his retirement money though, on drugs & bitches.

woof woof!!!

 

tis sad, but then if they are gonna use dogs to sniff out the drugs, it's to be expected eh

 

i wonder what was going through a dogs head whilst fucked on drugs??

 

i have seen dogs on pills before, they loved it.

ive also seen a parrot eat hash cake.

And don't forget the seagulls

I've seen a cat on E before... looked pretty terrified. Poor thing.
