Next question...do they eat brains?

Not the most flattering picture for that article...

Now that's cool but I'm curious about practical application.
For example, how does this help in a battlefield situation - I doubt Army medics will be carrying the equipment necessary to inject almost-freezing temperature saline solution into an injured soldier.
Sounds like something that's only got practical application in the trauma surgery field, where, if it does help save patients that would otherwise have bled out on the OR table, I can see it being a wonderful thing.

Yes! This is just the sort of development we need to make cryonics feasible.

Yeah, as an ice cube.

That's kind of remarkable yet eerie, all at once...

Hmm. That's what Darth Sidious said, too.

Can anyone provide a link that verifies this?
Cause that picture, and some of the text set my BS detector off big time.
Edit: The Safar Center for Resuscitation Research is real enough, but I can't find anything about dogs. The fact that the place exists, and seems to have successfully done this with smaller mammals lends credence to this story...
Perhaps it was just bad journalism. Calling them "zombie dogs" and showing that picture were both terrible choices...
