Emma Medeiros said she was taking her two pups, Pandora and Ophelia, out for a bathroom break when she noticed three pieces of hot dog on the ground.

"It was super nice out so I decided to sit on the front patio while they go do their business, until I noticed my border collie Ophelia sniff a piece of meat that was in the yard," Medeiros told BuzzFeed Canada.

She said she knew something was off because the meat had a bit of a shine, and when she went to inspect it, her "stomach just dropped."
