A being the size of that dog, eating a joint, for the first time could very conceivably feel very stoned.

I can confirm 100% that a dog will feel it after eating weed. Their symptoms can range a bit like people but often they'd come in with increased sensitivity to touch and a good bit of leaking urine. Overall they just have strange behavior.

A CSB on this... Worked ER for a little bit and would see more of these cases late at night. Had a middle aged Weimaraner come in high as could be but the ~60 year old owners were adamant that their dog hadn't gotten into any weed. Told them that if that wasn't the case we likely had a pretty severe neurologic issue going on and I was going to need to hospitalize the dog and refer to the neurologist in the AM. Came back again and said no way it wasn't possible and somewhere in there they let it slip that they have a 19 year old son but he would never do drugs or anything like that. He was a good boy.

The older guy finally said he'd have a hard talk with his son and sure enough they came back 15 min later, furious, to tell me their precious, good boy was on drugs and the dog got into them. Oops.
