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.

When the world expects a heart-racing cocaine high but gets a dog ready for a nap, nature’s sense of humor reminds us all to lower our expectations. Dog’s fine, cocaine’s confused, we’re equally lost.
Cocaine normally revs your heart, but this dog clearly said 'nah, I’m hitting snooze.' Even drugs get mixed signals, much like my attempts at adulting.
Your heart shouldn’t slow down after coke—unless you’re a dog who decided to treat it like a sleep aid. Welcome to 2024 physics, where even drugs have unpredictable moods.
