Put the food bowl in there. He’ll feel validated, like he hit the jackpot/final level, and it will desensitise him. 2 birds.
Maybe his former owner was a stoner and he likes the way it smells.
or he wants a hit you greedy basta…
What do you think of my business idea of dogtoys that smell like illegal stuff, so you can train your dog to sniff out things. You have a ball and it smells like cocaine (there is no cocain in there), but you can hide it and train your dog now to sniff out cocaine, just for the fun of it. And there is one, that smells like explosives, one for marijuana, one for meth and so on.
The real idea is to treasure those scents and spray them on all kinds of random shit.
If the damn dog reacts to a bunch of items that aren’t weed, then you have grounds to challenge any searches conducted based on the dog’s reaction.
This actually isn’t far removed from the reality we already have, it’s found many of the dogs are specifically trained not to accurately detect things, but to give the reaction that allows a cop to move forward in order to create probable cause.
A well trained dog in controlled lab conditions is about 80% accurate iirc a dog in practice is far less than 50% accurate.
I mean at the airport the dog identifies you suitcase and the officers then search the suitcase. Not sure how you could trick the dogs then.
I suppose you could do it at your home, but that’s not useful either for the same reasons.Thousands of people all treating their perfectly-innocent suitcases with the stuff will generate a false-positive rate high enough that it’ll make the dogs’ signals unusable as probable cause.
People do train and compete with their dogs in scent work but they use essential oils. So there may be a market for scented toys but probably not for illegal stuff.
Also I’m not sure accidentally busting a drug trafficker is the key to a long healthy life lol.
That makes more sense I suppose. Even if something just looks or smells illegal, it can still cause trouble.
and then I can take my dog for walks and get some really cool free shit like weed, or cocaine, or lead…
Is it an urban legend, that people have hidden stashes in public?
You’ll never find hidden stashes of weed or cocaine. However the stashes of lead will find you if you follow your dog towards stashes of weed or cocaine.
only one way to find out!
i had hidden stashes in public when I was on probation as a youth lol
Was it because hiding it at home was more risky with parents?
Maybe it’s also an all eggs in one basket kinda thing. What if one stash is found or damaged, better to have backup.
Or one could use it for dealing. I would imagine selling stuff to addicts, is kinda dangerous. What if they have no more money, but they know you have stuff in your pocket. Kinda scary. So what if you hide it, they give you the money and you give them a description where it is hidden. Sounds safer. Yes easier to scam, but a lot is about trust.
I could imagine if someone is addicted, hiding a stash somewhere outside could keep one from eating through their entire stash when they get greedy.
I’m kinda interested in how such things work.
Can you explain how a public stash worked. Is it just a zip bag lightly buried? Or stuffed in some walls crack?was definitely more risky with my parents. they went through my room almost daily when I wasn’t on probation, and being on probation made the house subject to searches at any point if my PO felt like it (or however it worked, that thankfully never actually happened).
also didn’t want to have all my stuff in one place yeah - I had a small amount in case of “emergencies” hidden in the yard, but the rest of it was stashed near my favorite smoke spots, ranging from buried zip bags to The Big Stash™ requiring me to crawl under a barbed wire fence and scoot down a steep hill without falling into the river below and moving the rocks I placed in front of the hole where I kept my big box of hardcore drugs and paraphernalia(aka cannabis, pipes, and a lil portable bong thingy lol)
you’d definitely get a reputation for being a plug with geocaches! - but as a kid i only bought weed, and only sold nicotine (gas station a block from my house never checked ID) so my legacy never came to be lol
I thought so. So you had a three tier stash hierarchy? That’s kinda involved. The Big Stash™ sounds legendary.
Hope you are doing better now? Addiction is awful. Wish you the best.
You could make toys that smell like low blood sugar, or a seizure? Useful and still a good business model.
I suppose that would better be left to pros not hobbyists.
Neighbors: “ACAB!”
Dog: “Please, I’m retired.”
The real ACAB is the police department dumping a retired K9 at the pound.
Yeah throw away a living animal once you no longer have use for it why don’t you
Could have been the new owner who dumped a retired K9 at the pound, perhaps since sometimes those dogs have PTSD and can be more of a challenge than expected, or the owner died. Animals wind up in odd places for many reasons.
“and all the innocent people you helped lock up? Are they happily retired?”

Just got back from the vet because my dog got into my roommates stash. Good news—she’s going to be fine, but she’s going to be deeply stoned for a long, long time.
It takes a surprisingly large amount of weed to hit the LD50 point for dogs out turns out. Somewhere around 1 gram per pound of body weight.
But yeah, they do not handle it well at all.
Our vet said they have never lost a dog before to this, but it’s 12 hours later and she is still stoned.
You should talk in a happy, but slow voice, and walk/move in slow motion. And get your room mate to do it too.
Hhhhheeeyyyyy bbbbbuuuuudddddyyyyy. Yyyooouuuuu wwwaaaannnnnaaaa ggggooooo ffffoooorrrrr aaaaa wwwaaaallllkkkk?
Then make sudden jerky movements right at the dog. Nothing could go wrong.
This is why I prefer cats.
Cats will just attack because they feel like it, no need to scare them with sudden movements.
Not how drugs work…
On a dog’s brain? Who even knows?
Either an ex cop dog, or an ex grower’s dog
“JUST DOIN’ MY JOB”
Dogmeat found something.
Any idea what breed that dog is?
Looks a bit like a german shepherd?
Which would make sense since they are often police dogs
That looks nothing like a German shepherd.
wdym it looks exactly like one
The color pattern looks like a Shepard is in the mix too…
Dog breed!
The best kind.
