Fast-thinking Washington firefighters used Narcan to save a puppy who had been exposed to fentanyl.
The tiny pooch was found unresponsive inside a vehicle where fentanyl was present on Tuesday, and firefighters from the Lacey Fire Department quickly administered a small dose of Narcan, a nasal spray used to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose in humans.
They were able to revive the tiny pup on the scene and are “happy to report it’s doing well,” the department said in a Facebook post.
The department shared a photo of one of the responders holding the dog wrapped in a towel after it regained consciousness.
“It’s not every day we use Narcan on a four-legged patient — but our teams are ready for just about anything,” the department said.
Officials have not released any additional details of the incident or the dog’s owner.
The Post has reached out to the Lacey Police Department to confirm whether or not any arrests were made.
Lacey is a suburb of about 50,000 just north of state capital, Olympia.
