Dog’s Coke Crash: When Speed Turns Into Nap Time
In an unexpected twist, cocaine, famed for making hearts race faster than your morning coffee, took a surprising detour with a dog who instead lounged around lethargically. 'Normally cocaine makes the heart race,' noted the report dryly, yet in this plaguy pupper’s case, it slowed down the heart rate. You might say the poor canine flipped the chemical script—maybe also proving that dogs are just far too sophisticated to party like humans. Science occasionally throws curveballs like this, reminding us we're all terrible drivers of our own biochemistry.
