THREE dogs are lucky to be alive after coming across drugs hidden in woods.

The pets, all with different owners, have recovered since being taken to the same vet with overdose symptoms after going out for exercise.

Vet Brendan Clarke said: “They looked stoned. They were off their heads on something. We have seen this in dogs that have had cannabis. They could have died.”

Peter Mann, 74, said his labrador Peppa was “glassy-eyed” after visiting Calverley Woods, Leeds. Police are investigating the area.
