Irvine police officers saved an eight-week-old puppy from overdosing on narcotics after arresting its owners for possession of drugs. The puppy began showing signs of opioid overdose, prompting the officers to administer Narcan, a treatment for opioid overdose. The puppy was successfully revived and is now in good health. The use of Narcan on animals is not uncommon, with many veterinarians using it to save dogs' lives. The owners are facing charges, while the puppy remains in the custody of the city.
