It was another routine day for the Tovey family until they found meatballs laced with pills in their backyard on Monday in Sandy, Utah.
“I feel like it’s a targeted thing on my dog,” owner Drew Tovey told KSL.
Tovey says his 7-year-old pit bull is a trained, well behaved dog and very friendly, so he was shocked when his son found the five drugged meatballs.

Five to six pills were inside each meatball, including extra-strength Tylenols.
Dr. Marcel Lee, a veterinarian a South Valley Animal Hospital explained the dosage could have been lethal.
“That would have been drastic for that animal,” explained Lee.
The family’s home borders a walking trail, which is from where Tovey believes the culprit threw the meatballs.
On his Facebook page, Tovey expressed his anger writing, “Some Dil-Hole attempted to kill my dog this afternoon…I sure hope I can find this chicken****… I’d like to have some words with them.”
An investigation by animal services and Sandy City police is underway
