Zombie Dogs Soon to Rule Over Us All
And on behalf of the entire population of the planet earth, I welcome our new masters and quickly point out that there are many others who are surely more savory and tasty than I. Surely you will need willing and complacent accessories to your dining, so count me in!
In a more serious vein, This story is neat in a real creepy way. Scientists managed to drain the blood of living dogs, replacing it with a near freezing saline solution. The animals stopped breathing, had no heartbeat or brain activity - they were clinically dead. Three hours later, their blood was replaced, and after a quick jump start of the ole' ticker, the dogs were revived.
Human trials "should be realised within a year". *Cue spooky, doomsday style music...*
