Pittsburg's Zombie dogs.

Nicole's watching fact things on Youtube and this one came up.

Don't think it's wrong at all - the medical implications of this research, for both humans and other animals is astounding and will save untold numbers of lives.

Hmm I suppose, it is interesting but it doesn't say what happened to the dogs that had the brain damage, the ones who survived or where they gained the dogs in the first place..

But I don't like zombies - so it's wrong.

At a guess I would probably say more tests to examine the extent of, and nature of, the brain damage, so that the researchers may try and figure out how to prevent it in the future.

Are you going to be having nightmares of zombie dogs coming to get you???

I'm pretty sure that something similar to this study has already been succesfully carried out in rodents.

I'm such a girl about these things. I watched the first series of the walking dead with my OH and haven't watched it since because he's not there to work his guns and kill them all when they come after me. I didn't sleep in my room last night because Pennie was looking around as if she was watching someone walking about and then she started grumbling and barking.. so we slept downstairs..

Ha ha sorry this made me laugh! Only coz I can take pain, and scary films, but spiders! I made a girl about 13 laugh her head of the other day, as her mum had come back to visit work, and a spider ran out. No one had ever seen me move so fast, the girl thought it was haliorious!

Better hope they don't do any stem cell experiments involving growing extra limbs on dogs.
