Firefighters in Washington state revived a puppy with Narcan after a fentanyl overdose earlier this week.

The Lacey Fire Department District Three shared a post on Tuesday regarding the incident.

Lacey firefighters said a crew that day discovered a puppy “unresponsive inside a vehicle where fentanyl was present.”

Rescuers said they were to revive the pup thanks to their training and a small dose of Narcan.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, Narcan is a nasal spray that is used as a medication to treat narcotic drug overdoses.

“It’s not every day we use Narcan on a four-legged patient, but our teams are ready for just about anything,” firefighters shared.
