That’s sad. Sure he could haul but...he couldn’t stand for long could he? Can’t imagine they couldn’t find him afterwards. Makes me want to cry.
It takes a while for the dart to take effect...and dogs typically try and retreat to a safe haven when they feel the effects. In this case, there are dense woods where Buddy takes refuge. We also tried drugging his food several weeks ago and he same thing happened. When he started feeling drowsy, he took refuge in the woods and we couldn’t find him.
