Jack, an 11 year-old black lab, ran away from his owner Jen Nestor Waddell at a Seattle park to go get high. Early reports indicate that Jack did not think anyone would notice, but he was leaving some fairly obvious signs. Nestor Waddell said, "When he was trying to walk, he was looking at his paw, and then looking at the ground and then trying to get his paw to reach the ground, but was unsuccessful." Even more surprising was finding Jack eating a large bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch on the couch and literally howling at Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
