A dog in California was left blind after it was thought to have ingested oxycodone during a walk.

Owner Lori Burns was walking her two dogs in a Santa Monica park when her 15-pound dog, Chance the Rapper, “out of nowhere he just stopped. I looked down and he collapsed,” Ms. Burns told KABC-TV in Los Angeles.

She said her dog was panting heavily and gazing at the sky while on the ground.

After rushing to a veterinary hospital in West Hollywood, Ms. Burns was told that her dog had a fever of 106 degrees. More shockingly, the dog’s urine contained oxycodone and the pup had overdosed on the opioid, according to KTTV.
