Fentanyl is very poorly absorbed by eating. A dog could sniff it and get it that way, but it would require quite a bit of it and it's pretty unlikely. Given the priors it's way more likely that the cops have the Fenty Fainties, and are applying it to a dog that had a seizure under stress or something.

Police have a long and storied track record of acting like fentanyl is toxic on sight. I had one try to stop me from administering cpr because he was worried there could be fentanyl on the patient's clothes and I might get it on me through my gloves.
