A dog was taken to a local veterinary clinic in Austria with the animal displaying symptoms including constant vomiting and swaying side to side. The vet said it was apparent the dog was drunk.

"When I got him up on the table, it smelled like a distillery," said Karl Hofbauer of the Oberoesterreichische Nachrichten in the Salzkammergut region.

"Obviously, I could not use a breathalyzer, so I had to take a blood sample and have it analyzed in a lab for human samples," Independent Online quoted the veterinarian.

Findings from tests revealed that the dog had large amounts of alcohol in the blood, about 1.6 grams per liter.

The dog's owner, a hunter, insisted that it was not due to alcohol ingestion. It was determined that the alcohol was due to the half a kilogram of yeast dough that the dog had devoured. According to the AFP, the yeast fermented inside the dog's stomach, causing Dingo's inebriated state.

"Nasty minded people often say that we hunters are often drunk," joked Dingo's owner, "but in my case it was the dog."
