A mischievous New Jersey dog drank down an entire bottle of vodka and half a bottle of Bailey’s before his owner came home to find him a little worse for wear.
Mary, from southern New Jersey, returned home last week to find her dog, who had been home alone, staggering around her house and unable to walk.
She found an empty bottle of Bailey’s on the floor and an overturned handle of vanilla Smirnoff vodka on the counter.
According to Mary, the Bailey’s bottle was half empty and the vodka was still full before her mischievous puppy broke into the alcohol stash.
The New Jersey resident’s dog, Jack, is a five-year-old rescue puppy who appears to be a husky mix.

Mary, who did not share her last name, posted a video of the drunken dog on TikTok and it immediately went viral – racking up 35 million views and almost six million likes.
In the video, Mark can be heard saying, “It’s not funny, but my dog is drunk and I don’t know what to do.”
Viewers found the viral video hilarious, but some people raised concerns about the dog’s health and safety.
Mary later posted a TikTok explaining how she handled the situation after the initial shock discovery.
“As far as what happened, I have a window seat that’s against my counter, and the alcohol was on the counter,” she said.
“So he jumped onto the window seat and then onto the kitchen counter and chewed the lid off the Bailey’s bottle – which you can see in the video, the lid is chewed off. When I got home I found the lid on the floor.
‘I did take him to the vet. I called animal poison control first. They advised me to bring him in just because they didn’t know how much he was consuming.
‘So I took him to the vet, who kept him overnight. They gave him fluids, observed him and called me at 7am in the morning and said, “He’s fine, he’s running around like he doesn’t even have a hangover.”
She also clarified that she “absolutely did not” let her dog consume the alcohol on purpose.
Mary said, “I have no children – Jack is my child.”

Although Jack’s drunken state was an accident and Mary took good care of the situation, previous drunken dog situations were not so lighthearted.
In 2012, a man was arrested for getting his dog so drunk that the dog kept falling over while he tried to get up.
Todd Harold Schrier went to court on animal cruelty charges after police in East Helena, Montana discovered the Pomeranian dog was more than four times the legal drinking limit for people driving vehicles.
The 50-pound dog, named Arly II, was unable to walk in a straight line when police found the animal at Smith’s Bar.
The dog was taken to Alpine Animal Clinic, where a blood test showed its blood alcohol level was 0.348 percent. The legal limit for drivers is 0.08 percent.
Michelle Richardson, the clinic’s veterinarian, told the Helena Independent Record that such high levels of alcohol could be fatal.
In another comical case of a drunk dog from 2017, a sneaky pooch was left with a miserable hangover after consuming twelve bottles of chocolate liqueur that left her drunk – and then incredibly sick.
As part of Ellie Mae Dwyer’s punishment, the pooch’s owner had her pose for a photo next to the remaining bottles of chocolate liquor she had broken into and a sign detailing her antics.
‘Today I ate twelve bottles of chocolate liqueur. I got so drunk I couldn’t get up. And then the projectile burst through the living room. And now I have a hangover!’ reads the sign.
