Man Tripping On LSD Saves Dog From Imagined House Blaze

A man in upstate New York bravely broke into his neighbor’s blazing home to save their trapped dog on Thursday afternoon.

Michael Orchard fled the burning property in Halfmoon, near Albany, with the bewildered pup and tenderly cradled it in his arms while resting on the front lawn. Or, at least that’s what the 43-year-old thought happened.

But state troopers said Orchard was actually tripping on a potent mixture of LSD and cough syrup. There was no blaze and the entire house-fire scenario was just a result of his hallucinations.

Thinking that his neighbor’s home was on fire, he initially pounded on other residents’ doors in a desperate attempt to alert them. But when they didn’t react, he allegedly plowed his BMW sedan through his neighbor’s fence and broke into the home via the back door to grab the dog.
