Jillian Frank's mother discovered a strange hot dog on her patio in November, according to Jillian Frank. The hot dog contained a crystal substance, suspected to be methamphetamine. At least two family dogs have become sick after ingesting the laced hot dogs.
Jillian Frank's dog Gable ate something on the property in late December and developed symptoms; testing confirmed methamphetamine in his system. Annalyn Frank's dog Murray exhibited similar symptoms and tested positive for MDMA and meth.
She found a hot dog on her patio, and she's a vegetarian. She cracked it open and there's this crystal substance in it.
The Broomfield Police Department is investigating the incident, a spokesperson said. The family has installed security cameras but no suspect has been identified. Jillian Frank launched a GoFundMe to support the family; vet bills exceeded $6,000. Donors raised more than $3,000 as of Friday afternoon.
I noticed Murray just spinning in circles and foaming at the mouth. I know him really well, so I knew something was not right.
We had experienced a dog high on meth already, so I was noticing similar symptoms. We looked at the Ring camera, and we saw he had gotten out of my car and he'd eaten something in the grass immediately.
Starting over will incur an enormous financial burden. Vet bills alone for this ordeal have exceeded $6000. We are at a loss and reaching out for help.
Any support you can offer will make a world of difference for our mom, her dogs and cats as they work to rebuild their lives in safety.
I feel absolutely helpless. My dogs are my absolute world.
