    I believe this one is a hoax, well at least it shows all signs of one.

    Aside from the article provided, there are no other news sources reporting it, but a horde of blogs have repeated it all over the place. The Safar Centre for Resuscitation Research is real however, but their website doesn't say anything about the article. Also, the article provided doesn't mention a single scientists name, spokesperson, or even the generic, "battlefield doctor."

    Oh yeah, and the picture on the sight... its a wolf, not a dog.

    None of this changes the fact that I *want* it to be real, but I think its a hoax.

    I think it's real, but I don't understand why they're calling them 'zombie dogs'. They were dead, then brought back to life, not undeath. They still have their personalities, and can think in as complex a way as they ever could. So what qualifies them as zombies? :confused:

    Check out Reanimator (1985), based on the Lovecraft story. Classic.

    Interesting story. The picture is an obvious file shot and has nothing to do with the story (except it's close to a dog and the editor wanted to add to the 'eerie' ambience -- stupid parlor trick).
