A PUG has been hospitalised after eating “human faeces containing magic mushrooms” at a popular Gold Coast dog beach.

Kasey Lee took her dog Riley to the Paradise Point off-leash dog beach on Saturday when the pooch ran off to feast on poop.

The owner tried to stop four-year-old Riley but it was too late. She had already ingested some of the stool, which was understood to be from a human.

“The magic mushrooms are a toxin. That meant she couldn’t stand up straight and was constantly wobbling and shaking.

“She had all of the symptoms of marijuana but the urine test was negative so (the vet) said (she had eaten) almost certainly magic mushrooms as it has the same signs but doesn’t show in the test.

“She has been treated overnight to bind the toxin and get it out of her system.

“Big thanks to whoever is doing drugs and crapping on the beach just off the fishing pier. Feel free to be somewhere else.”

Mrs Lee’s post had more than 50 comments from those throughout the Gold Coast community who were shocked about what happened.

“Disgusting behaviour,” one person wrote.

Another said: “OMG yuk. So glad she’s OK.”

Asked why she let her dog eat faeces, Mrs Lee said “Well I clearly didn’t ‘let’ her eat (poo). I chased her but for a slow fat breed, pugs are the fastest animals on land when they have something in their mouth that they shouldn’t”.

Queensland Police say they had not recieved any complaints of such in the Paradise Point area on Sunday.
