Pet dog 'ate crack' then killed owner in front of BBC crew filming drug documentary

“The dog was eight times the drug drive limit,” said Nicholas Carmichael, a veterinary toxicology expert, who found cocaine and morphine in the dog’s urine, according to reports.

Since when was there a drug drive limit for dogs

Clearly an expert among vets.

On another note I bumped into my vet on the train this morning. She's quite fit.

Why don't you register with a GP like the rest of us.

Easier to get unprescribed ketamine.

If a dog locks on, it locks on..you have to kill it or prize its jaws..you wont drag it off..it has to be killed or injured so badly it runs off..ie stick a pen in its eyes
You being a woman should know Knives are in the kitchen.


Oh and were talking paranoid crack head..there will be weapons everywhere.

If he was alone..well there ya go

I know where I keep my knives. I don't know where a cocaine binging epileptic IT specialist who think keeping a dog in a council flat is a good idea keep his.

Do you think BBC documentary crews are well versed in bull terrier anatomy and control?

Also a council flat with a dying man, an enraged dog and 2 or 3 film makers is going to be be very crowded. Getting past the dog might easily have increased the death toll. It's fair to assume the dog ceased it's attack, as if it had continued for the 30 minutes until police entered the apartment, the man would have died in the flat and not in hospital.

Perhaps they wanted to contain the dog for as long as possible/until it had calmed down?

Yes, now that I know you have ketamine I was planning a visit.

(thanks, I actually did laugh out loud. Creeped me out, out of context. )

[QUOTE 4956960, member: 9609"]If the news story is correct the hapless film crew couldn't even get the door open to let the police in. Were they partaking in the substances as well ?[/QUOTE]
I don't know. I wasn't there. But it's possible the dog was between them and the door, and it's also possible (as has been suggested upthread) that the deceased locked the door from the inside and they didn't know where the key was or couldn't get to it.

I certainly don't believe that they refused to open the door; they must have been unable.

(I'm assuming no one thinks the BBC wants 30 minutes of uninterrupted dog mauling epileptic footage)

I'm reminded of the time a colleague of mine turned up late for work one day. We gradually wheedled the story out of him...

He'd been out in a bar the night before and was befriended by a couple who took him back to their flat, where he spent the night. I'll skip the next bit because this is a family forum. In the morning, they left for work, leaving him still sleeping. When he eventually woke up and realised it was time to get to work, he found he couldn't get out of the flat - they had locked him in. Eventually he managed to escape out of a window.

Now, I've seen The Wire, so I know how uptight these drug dealer types can get about security, and like to add all manner of extra locks and bolts to their doors, so I can well believe that the BBC crew were trapped inside the flat with no way to get out, and that the police found it equally difficult to break in.
