I'm not sure "zombie dogs" is the one I would've gone with:
SCIENTISTS have created eerie zombie dogs, reanimating the canines after several hours of clinical death in attempts to develop suspended animation for humans. ... Pittsburgh's Safar Centre for Resuscitation Research has developed a technique in which subject's veins are drained of blood and filled with an ice-cold salt solution.
The animals are considered scientifically dead, as they stop breathing and have no heartbeat or brain activity.
But three hours later, their blood is replaced and the zombie dogs are brought back to life with an electric shock.
Pittsburgh? That has to be a joke. We all know what else happened in Pittsburgh, after all.
During the procedure blood is replaced with saline solution at a few degrees above zero. The dogs' body temperature drops to only 7C, compared with the usual 37C, inducing a state of hypothermia before death.
Although the animals are clinically dead, their tissues and organs are perfectly preserved.
Damaged blood vessels and tissues can then be repaired via surgery. The dogs are brought back to life by returning the blood to their bodies,giving them 100 per cent oxygen and applying electric shocks to restart their hearts.
Tests show they are perfectly normal, with no brain damage.
What's your baseline for that? I love dogs, but when your normal feeding patterns can include crayons, dental floss, and other - less savory - delicacies, how does one determine they haven't gotten any dumber?
If true, it sounds pretty remarkable, I think I'd wait for a little more reputable source to confirm this before stocking up on delicious brains for Sounder.
I want to know the identities of the individuals who are zombifying dogs so I can take them off my Christmas card list.
That is all.
