A poodle was revived with Narcan after suffering a suspected drug overdose in Pennsylvania, a shelter said.

Toodles the poodle and his owner were found unconscious and unresponsive in Kensington, Pennsylvania, SPCA said in a post on Facebook.

The Philadelphia Police Department came to help the person, while Good Samaritans rushed the dog to Blue Pearl Emergency Hospital in Philadelphia.

Suspecting that the dog had ingested drugs accidentally or otherwise, vets at the hospital administered Narcan.

Narcan, the brand name version of naloxone, blocks the effects of opiates and has been hailed as a life-saving drug that can be used to stop overdoses.

After being given the medication, Toodles immediately became responsive and had since "miraculously" made a full recovery and is "the sweetest pup," according to the shelter.

Toodles was placed on an IV and monitored as the drugs flushed out his system. He has since been transferred to the shelter.

"Toodles could have died. He could have had lasting impacts from the drugs that he ingested. But, today, he is safe, and he has a new future ahead of him," the shelter said.
