Sullivan captured the mouse, humorously referring to it as a “pothead” on social media. He updated followers on the mouse’s progress, documenting its “rehabilitation” process and eventual release back into the wild.
The posts about the “stoner mouse” went viral, attracting thousands of shares and comments filled with laughter and appreciation. Amidst the humor, Sullivan also shared a heartfelt tribute to his wife, expressing gratitude for her support in his journey to sobriety.
