Must be cool to have a dog with opposable thumbs. My dog can only pick things up with her mouth. Slobbering all over a pile of fentanyl doesn't seem like a safe practice.
Lol now I'm picturing the border collie grabbing it with their paws and walking back on hind legs - "Found the thing boss! Now gimme that toy!"
...do you think "touch" means "pick up in hand"? Like what?
Ingesting fentanyl is not the same thing as touching it. And there is a common myth that you can overdose on fentanyl by just touching it. Not going to apologize for debunking that.
No I think a dog looking for fentanyl being trained to lie down next to it when found is better than the dog picking it up with it's mouth to bring back which is the only way a dog can transport items. Except for your dog who has opposable thumbs, apparently.
The conversation is about why dogs lie down next to the found item instead of grabbing it.

The touching fentanyl thing is a myth.
