...it just takes a larger dose because dogs are less sensitive to it that humans.

Ok, so you do get it and you don't need me to explain. I'm glad you answered your own question.

and especially if the dog's owner is already saying it's happened before with the same dog and they recognize the symptoms in progress.

The cops said she said this. And I don't believe them as a rule when it comes to anything they say about fentanyl. Ask yourself why she would say that to them? Why would she say she has enough in her possession to not only kill a person, but also kill a dog? And then admit it has happened at least once before, opening herself up to animal cruelty charges and possibly charges of intent to distribute?

No. Because you made it sound as if dogs react entirely differently and that's not really the case. I wanted to know what you were trying to imply. Still do.

Ask yourself why she would say that to them?

This is the dumbest question I've heard this week. In states where marijuana is still illegal, people get high enough to call 911 and report that someone stole their weed. Who TF knows what goes on in the mind of a fentanyl users and what they do or do not say out loud. Maybe the person cared enough about their dog to risk incriminating themselves - I know I would absolutely risk incriminating myself if it was a life or death situation for one of my own dogs.

I didn't make it sound like dogs react entirely differently. Dogs require a significantly higher dose to have the same effect. You did seem to get that point, so I think we can move on.

Great, ok, so you believe cops are passing out and overdosing from touching baggies with suspected fent in it? Because that's the shit they're saying constantly. And if you believe this dog story bullshit, you might as well believe those lies too. The odds that the cops are lying are WAY higher than the odds that two junkies fed their dog fent, left the fent where they dog would have eaten it, or told the cops that the dog ate it.

Let me ask you another question. If the cops found the fent on the suspected junkies, how did the dog also eat it? If they had multiple baggies of it, that's intent to distribute and we would have read that in the article. Yet, we didn't.

None of this story makes sense to anybody with even a modicum of knowledge of people that actually use drugs. Be more skeptical in life, it'll serve you well.
