A Melborne-area puppy named nearly died after licking some anti-freeze two weeks ago. Apparently, alcohol was the only cure, so he was placed on a drip of vodka.

The 9-month-old American Staffordshire was refusing food and was growing more disoriented after eating the anti-freeze.

Facing a kidney failure, the pup was taken to the vet, who then told her owner that the only cure was pure alcohol. . .
