Coco is a two-year-old dog. He almost lost his life and spent a month in the intensive care (重症监护) . Why? Because he liked drinking alcohol (酒精) and couldn’t control himself.

Workers at the Woodside Animal Welfare Trust in Plymouth found Coco and another dog after their owner died. They found that the two dogs both used to enjoy open bottles that their late owner left out in the yard before going to sleep. The situation was so bad that the other dog died. And Coco had to be sedated (给……服镇静剂) for four weeks.

The Woodside Animal Welfare Trust said that Coco had been with them for over a month before needing intensive care. He added that Coco was feeling much better now and didn’t need to take any medicine. “The care from workers here certainly made a difference to his recovery and health,” the animal rescue said. “No one knows how these dogs got into the situation with alcohol, but we do know that without our care Coco would likely have not got through this mournful period.”

Coco still has steps to take to complete his rehabilitation (康复) journey before he becomes ready for adoption(收养).
