SA KAEO — A pet dog in the eastern province of Sa Kaeo brought his owner a package of methamphetamine tablets this morning, likely disrupting a drug deal, police said.

The owner of the dog, named Khao, said he saw his pet staggering around "like a drunk person" on his lawn this morning.

"I thought he was poisoned," recalled the owner, 53-year-old Montri Moonmook.

When Montri walked over to inspect Khao, he noticed a slightly-torn black backage near the dog’s head that contained tablets of methamphetamine.

Montri said he promptly called police and gave Khao water mixed with Thai herbs.

According to Pol.Maj. Chairaya Maneesutthi, an investigative office at Aranyaprathet Police Station, 760 meth pills were found inside the package, which Khao had chewed open.

Around 30 more tablets were also strewn on the lawn near the dog, who appeared to have consumed some of the pills.

Good Dog! Are you a happy dog? (dog wags his tail 500 miles an hour).

[Somtamnication]

Wait for it. The dog will be assigned to an inactive post.

At last, a positive dog story!

I'd bet his other dog is called Dum.

I'd bet his other dog is called Dum.

I bet you're right.

Meanwhile, an angry neighbour has been seen screaming and ranting over "nothing", and keeps casting evil glares at Khao's owner.

A dog ate my homework once.

Sorry. I just had to say it

[timmyp]

I wonder if the dog will be ok? Overdose is very easy with an animal of that size.

Feeding the dog water and Thai herbs (I guess that means herbs available only in Thailand?) is completely useless other than keeping the animal hydrated, but I certainly don't knock the owner's efforts to do something for his tripping pet.

Khao the dog seems to be doing a better job than the BIB

[ldiablo]

I remember when I was younger and used to blow marijuana smoke into my dogs face and he would be tripping. Can't imagine how this poor dog feels.
