SCIENTISTS have created eerie zombie dogs, reanimating the canines after several hours of clinical death in attempts to develop suspended animation for humans.

You're already undead. What do you want to be a zombie for?

Then I can be incuded in movie trailers that make sweeping generalisations about 'evil undead zombie armies'.
See?

That's pretty freaky. Though I can see that it would be helpful for battlewound victims--to suspend their life until they can get to a treatment center. But still. I sometimes wonder about what they do in the name of science...

I wonder if this is why my grandma is still alive, also I had a zombie dog once, actually It's still alive, I just don't have it anymore, it's about 18 now and it was blind deaf, had no sense of smell or taste and had horrible arthritis in every joint in it's body, was missing teeth and a had a tennis ball sized tumor hanging from its hind quarters, we tried to have it put down once, but it didn't die, so we stopped feeding it for a while and it somehow got  healthier and ran away to ventura...
it had three legs in the grave...but was too dead to move the last one.
Tappin my feet the the beat of original sin.

Ah! It was the food that was killing it!! You should have stopped feeding it much earlier.
