    Body camera video released by police in Southern California shows officers saving a small puppy they say was exposed to fentanyl in a car last week.

    The incident took place Wednesday in the city of Irvine and two people including the dog's owner were arrested in connection to the case, the Irvine Police Department reported.

    According to a Facebook post from police, officers found a female gray Pitbull puppy in a car at a Walmart in Orange County. At some point, police said the dog was exposed to fentanyl and showed signs of an overdose.

    "The female (one of two people arrested) said, 'Oh, I think my dog is overdosing,’" police spokesman Kyle Oldoerp told the Los Angeles Times. "She knew the symptoms because it was the second time the dog had overdosed."

    'A small dose'

    Body camera video with a timestamp about 9:35 a.m. on the day of the incident shows officers give the small dog a dose of Narcan as it appears to breath fast and heavy.

    The anti-overdose medication naloxone, also called Narcan, can be injected or inhaled to reverse an opioid overdose.

    Footage shows an officer's gloved hand gently stroking the dog's back after administering the dose which police said helped the puppy "immediately begin to recover."

    Police then transported the puppy to a local emergency veterinarian for treatment.

  28. Oh, dear God. How could anyone do this to an innocent pup? I hope the owners never see it again and are locked up.

  29. Beautiful Officers❤❤❤ blessings little pup…

  30. Y? What did this poor pup do 2 deserve U? Hope they take care of U on the inside! Course withdrawals will B just the tip of the iceberg, hope U suffer intensely & Immensely. God bless this pups soul.

  31. Dog had a good day. Got high as hell and didn't die. If you think I'm being mean. You probably don't know what fentanyl (however you spell it) feels like. It's awesome, but it can kill you very easily and is super addictive. I'm not recommending it AT ALL. You WILL die. That's not an exaggeration to scare people away from it's a fact. An amount the size of a match head can absolutely kill you. That's how so many people die from it. They're not used to a tiny amount of any drug having that crazy effect, so you naturally take too much, and you die. I'm not even anti drug for recreational use. But fent is not something to play with. Glad the pup survived!

  32. The outcome of this should not be the people getting prosecuted. What will happen in the future is if this happens to an opioid user (which is 1.5% of all Americans), is that they will let the dog die in order not to go to jail.

    So maybe those puppies life was saved, but will result in many other puppies not getting help.

  33. Shame on those people. Im so glad the puppy is ok. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  34. Poor baby!! I hope this puppy will be ok.

  35. Poor baby!!!! I hope those people are behind bars and can never own another animal as long as they live!!

  36. I'm really glad this puppy lived and will be taken away from those losers!!

  37. Thank you for saving the puppy.❤
