CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - A police dog that was given medication used to reverse an overdose after he suffered a reaction from sniffing drugs has recovered.
The Brevard County Sheriff's Office says the golden retriever, Jake, had seizure-like symptoms and lost motor skills after detecting drugs on a passenger about to board the Norwegian Epic cruise ship in Port Canaveral, Florida Wednesday.
Brevard County Sheriff's Office spokesman Tod Goodyear says Jake was given Narcan as a precaution since deputies didn't know what was causing the reaction.
The passenger was charged with possessing a controlled substance without a prescription after deputies found on him a sedative and other prescription drugs, as well as an amphetamine and ecstasy.
Jake wasn't expected to suffer any long-term effects and has returned to work.
