Fentanyl overdoses hit a surprising group of San Franciscans: the city’s dogs
Some dog owners in the Tenderloin, San Francisco’s mecca for open-air drug markets, say they have reversed fentanyl overdoses.

The first time Brandy Martin used the overdose-reversing nose spray Narcan on her bulldog, Jack, he was just four months old, she said.
Martin, 43, said she brought Jack to a friend’s apartment and the dog licked a piece of the tinfoil that her friend was using to smoke the powerful synthetic opioid fentanyl. Jack’s body went limp in Martin’s arms, she said, and it took three rounds of Narcan before he became alert and began moving again.
“I panicked so bad,” said Martin, who added that she avoids fentanyl after dozens of her friends have fatally overdosed. “I don’t think people always think about the dogs, but that stuff is just so toxic and so poisonous.”
