SEATTLE — A Seattle woman is warning other pet owners about the potential dangers of fentanyl on city streets after she says her dog accidentally overdosed on the drug.

Emma Green says her three-month-old miniature schnauzer, Dunkin, licked a blue pill that was on the front steps of her South Lake Union apartment. 

"We saw a blue pill with markings that were indicative of a fentanyl pill," said Green, who says they were on the way to puppy training when the incident happened. 

"Within 2 minutes he is limp in my arms he is whimpering and panting," said Green about the ordeal adding, "I thought we were going to lose him."
