They include a beloved family dog aged 12 and three search and rescue Labradors
The dogs poisoned on a walk in Hillsborough Forest Park with human food left in piles, have survived the night after emergency veterinary care in Co Down.
"With five dogs there was obvious competition and they were wolfing it down. Koda and Ellie ate the most and Alicia and I had to pull each dog away so one of use could hold them at a safe distance while the rest were removed from the food piles. "The dogs were given activated charcoal which forced them to be sick and bring up as much of the food as possible to try to get the toxins out of their bodies as quickly as possible. The poor vets had to examine that and they didn't believe there was any rat poison or anything but human food.
"But as Alicia and I are both dog professionals they allowed us to take the dogs home with more charcoal, knowing that we could observe them overnight.
