OMFG. Man that dog is gonna be spaced. Being 8mg of Subutex is more than enough to stone the most hardcore heroin user (probably enough to kill a child)....plus the smaller size of the puppy....basically the dog took a dosage to kill it 48 times. Its possible it may live; I had friend whose Chihuahua lived through 240mg of Oxycontin. Since subutex is a synthetic opiod, it may not be as effective on dogs

An overdose of this drug can cause what is known as "serotonin syndrome". Clinical signs of this syndrome can include: gastrointestinal signs like diarrhea and vomiting, hypersalivation, seizures, depression, tremors, a drunken walk, disorientation, difficulty breathing or coma.

1 8mg pill would be considered a OD for your dog , call your vey and get that dog in asap

Probably too late now to make the dog vomit.  I suggest you call your Vet or get to an ER clinic.  Better be safe then sorry!!!
