The dogs poisoned on a walk in Hillsborough Forest Park with human food left in piles, have survived the night after emergency veterinary care in Co Down.
They include two family pets, an elderly Wolfhound Collie mix aged 12 and a Springer Spaniel aged two, plus three dogs who work with search and rescue teams to help vulnerable people who have become lost or injured.
Shauna Harper from K9SARNI said she was on an evening walk with her dog Koda and friend and dog trainer, Alicia Huntley, when their dogs came across "piles and piles" of discarded discarded food.
