An elderly woman brought her dog to the police station and claimed that the dog had become unusually cheerful: the police began an investigation and discovered something strange

The police station was calm. It was around ten in the morning. Suddenly, an elderly woman, about seventy years old, confidently entered, holding an unusually plump, reddish dog on a leash.

The dog wagged its tail, jumped slightly on the spot, and looked, to say the least, overly lively. – Good morning. I need to speak with your chief, – the woman said calmly.

The on-duty officer did not immediately understand what she meant. – Ma’am, do you want to file a report? – No.

I want to tell a secret. Very important. It concerns my dog.

And possibly something more…

– The dog? – the officer repeated, surprised, looking at the dog, who was trying to climb onto the counter with its front paws, tongue hanging out. – Yes… You see, he is… how shall I say… too cheerful lately.

Even too much. – Ma’am… if there’s something wrong with your dog, there’s a veterinary clinic across the street. – No!

– she interrupted sharply. – You don’t understand. I live alone.

I’m with him every day. I see that something has changed. He’s not just enjoying life – he behaves as if… as if he’s on substances!

The officer frowned. – You mean your… dog… is taking illegal substances? – I don’t know!

But please – let me speak to someone. Let them check the dog. I feel there’s something behind this.

An awkward silence followed. One of the younger officers muttered quietly:

– Sir, should we call a doctor? Or… social services?

This woman isn’t in her right mind. But the senior sergeant, a man with intuition and much experience, suddenly said:

– Take her to the interrogation room. I’ll talk to her.

It was then that the police discovered something very terrible and unusual

The elderly woman sat opposite the sergeant. The dog, lying at her feet, continued to bounce like a spring. – Let’s start from the beginning.

How long has he been acting this way? – About a week. Before that, he was slow and calm.

As expected for a dog of his age and build. – What do you feed him? – Only one type of food.

Special for elderly dogs. He has always eaten it. One bowl in the morning, one in the evening.
