My sweet "son" Great Dane Elvis and his sidekick friend (who belonged to a friend) both drank from a puddle on a walk.
Not long after, a matter of days, he became deathly ill and his friend did too.
We were on a remote beach, on an otherwise lovely walk along the path by the shoreline.
We ran tests that the results could do nothing about.
He died a terrible excruciating death with no available healthcare.
His friend, a lovely sweet grey female weimaraner style-doggo died a couple of weeks later with identical symptoms.
Please observe your trail walks, especially in tropical and warm climate areas.
