That really is sad and such a shame. It's bad enough people abuse drugs and poisen themselves, but have to carelessly leave it around for an animal or deliberately give to them. It's too much to comprehend.
 
I'm sorry to hear that Cookie didn't make it..I am sure everything that could have been done was. It's nice that she lived at least a few years happy..doesn't really make up for it though.

From what I read in this article as well as the previous article about Cookie on zootoo, it sounds like the poor pup was really suffering and this was the best choice. Bless the Michigan couple who gace her 2 years of a somewhat normal life.

i hope that people will learn from this story that you should never allow a dog to eat something that you lay around. Or any animal for that matter. My aunt once fed milk to her pet goldfish which died a few days later.

poor dog. sometimes there is nothing you can do to help with an illness but to make the animal's passing less painful and traumatic.

the previous owner shouldn't just be in jail, he should have to go through the same thing that the poor animal had to go through!!!!!!!

Thankfully the dog had a loving family for her last year. Sadly enough babies and small children are affected in this manner also - especially when the mother uses during pregnancy. Why people who choose to use drugs also choose to 'share' them with their pets is beyond my reasoning.

How sad for Cookie. How could someone be so cruel to a dog. I hope he was charged with animal cruelty besides the drug charges.

Thank you to the person who had the heart to care for this baby. The other owner was probably the cause of the problem.....people do stupid stuff to their pets when they themselves are doing stupid stuff!

Very sad. Thank goodness for the second owners giving his a good life toward the end. Hopefully, the first owner will be charged with animal cruelty and given many years of jail time; also injest him with his filty habit so all he can do is be a vegetable.

Thanks so much for the update. I remember first hearing about this story on Zootoo and am sad to hear that Cookie has now passed. So sad to hear but I do hope that Cookie is feeling much better now that she is in a better place.

Why doesn't this surprise me that another innocent animal died and/or suffered from the hardcore drug use that is all over SW Michigan... This is so sad and reminds me of my favorite shelter dog, Wizard, who ultimately had to be put down from the lasting effects of either a meth lab and chemical burns and/or being dragged from a truck and beat, we'll never know, because thankfully, his owner was arrested.

Man, that poor dog. And to think, even after all that abuse, animals still love and trust humans. It is so sad how cruel people can be!
