Dog That Killed Owner Likely High on Crack

It looks like a dog that fatally attacked its owner in London was high on crack cocaine. 

During a coroner's inquest, a veterinary toxicologist testified that high levels of the drug and of morphine were found in the urine of the Staffordshire bull terrier named Major following the March attack, which was witnessed by a BBC crew filming a series about drugs, per the Guardian.
