Coco, a 2-year-old Labrador mix, is on the mend after spending four weeks in intensive care upon becoming addicted to alcohol after his owner had left alcohol out.
Staff at the trust believe both dogs became addicted to alcohol because their deceased owner left alcohol out, according to the BBC.
"It could be that just after, like say, the owner’s had a drink, and they’ve just gone to sleep, and the dogs may have drank it, but we just don’t know," staff member Kirstin Stone told the outlet.
