Owner feared dog would die after eating human poo 'laced with cannabis'
A DOG owner feared her pet would die after eating human poo, that is thought to have been laced with cannabis. Stephanie Chamings, 38, was walking her Bonnie, who began eating human poo from a pile of cinders in Cherry Orchard. Not long afterwards, the 18-month-old dog became lethargic and wobbly and even lost control of her bladder. "We were walking in Cherry Orchard and there were remains of a bonfire with weird stuff in it and there was human poo on it," Miss Chamings, of Bath Road, said.

"Her back end was wobbly and she lost control of her bladder so she kept wetting herself." Bonnie was rushed to an emergency vet, where she was put on a drip. After being taken home later that day, Miss Chamings said her dog continued to look "stoned". She said: "We took her home later that day and and she was still out of it and looked stoned." Miss Chamings, who works for Perfect Fit dog harness company in Malvern, said she did some research and spoke to her father, a retired vet, and came to the conclusion that it was likely that Bonnie had ingested cannabis. "My dad is a retired vet and we agreed it's very likely that it was cannabis," she said. After the worrying incident and fearing that it could have had a worse outcome, Miss Chamings shared a post about her experience on Facebook to warn other dog owners.

Following on from the post, she said she has received a number of comments and messages to say that the same thing has happened to multiple dogs. "I can't believe how many people have said exactly the same thing has happened to their dogs," she said. "Something weird is going on." Miss Chamings said she reported her concerns to Worcester City Council as a biohazard. A Worcester City Council spokesperson said: "This incident has been reported to us. Any use of illegal drugs is a police matter. "Any incidents of litter, biohazard or animal fouling can be reported on the Worcester City Council website at "Once reported we will look to clear up the mess within one working day."
