A San Jose dog walk turned unsettling this weekend when a local owner reported finding dozens of dog treats scattered across Berryessa Creek Park that she said smelled strongly of insecticide. She told officials she also found an empty container of Milk Bones tucked behind a tree, and that the gloves she used to gather the treats absolutely reeked and gave her a headache. City animal officials later collected the items so they could be removed and disposed of safely.
According to NBC Bay Area, Michelle Nguyen had been walking through the park with her husband, toddler and two dogs when one of the pets lunged toward what looked like a pile of treats. She began picking them up and discovered more scattered nearby. San José Animal Care and Services took custody of the items to ensure they were properly disposed of and urged the public not to let pets eat anything of unknown origin in public spaces.
