cat person myself
According to this article, scientists in Pittsburg have successfully created a zombie dog.
"Although the animals are clinically dead, their tissues and organs are perfectly preserved.… The dogs are brought back to life by returning the blood to their bodies, giving them 100 per cent oxygen and applying electric shocks to restart their hearts.Tests show they are perfectly normal, with no brain damage."
Of course, those tests can’t tell you if a dog is craving brains; the bark for brains is the same as the bark for biscuit.
So clearly there’s trouble ahead, and as with so many of my irrational fears, I’m placing all my hopes in the Japanese. Japan has a rapidly aging population, so there’s a thriving market for artificial companions. The most promising of these are robotic cats like this one, called the NECORO.
Even the name ... "NECORO".... it sounds like a zombie killing machine. Add some razor sharp teeth and some kind of retractable brain piercing spear – those zombie dogs won't stand a chance.
