HAMDEN, Conn. — This Christmas, a dog from Hamden survived a scary poisoning that could have been fatal.
On Wednesday, the Rossetti family’s cat got out of the house, and when they came back inside after retrieving the pet, they came across a horrible scene: their 80-lb. pure bred yellow Labrador on her side, frothing from the mouth.
The Rossettis quickly jumped into action once they realized their dog, Daisy, had eaten an almost-full container of Mentos chewing gum. The gum contained the chemical Xylitol; one piece could kill a small dog, and Daisy had just eaten over 40 pieces.
