Euthanized Puppy Rises From 'dead'

[Num7]

For you, zombie Doom fans...

A puppy euthanized by veterinarians has risen from the "dead."

The black-and-white pooch was one of five young dogs "put to sleep" Saturday at a shelter in Sulphur, Okla., News 9 in Oklahoma City reported. Each dog was checked and confirmed to be dead, then the 3-month-old and his four siblings were placed in a trash bin.

On Sunday morning, an animal control officer looked into the bin and discovered that the one pup somehow survived.

...Nope, no zombie Doom, just a very lucky puppy

I wonder if such a thing happens often ? I guess not.

Eww, a trash bin? It mustn't smell good in that shelter!

Some dogs just resist more than others to products used. It's generally an anesthetic, in a much more elevated concentration. I read an "unusual facts" article in a vet magazine, and it was telling how a big dog just didn't die after a normal dose for his weight! Kinda the same scenario.
It makes me think about people who changes their mind during euthanasia. Let me tell you the dog stays stone for a couple days after that!

Hey Num, I didn't know you had a "cute puppy" side!! Hahaha

Yeah, I happen to have this cute puppy side of me show up now and then. I though this topic would be creepy and cute at the same time!

I wonder if that dog simply didn't get the "lethal" dose, only enough to slow his vital functions down enough to 'appear' dead, giving the semblance.

I wonder if he had to be re-euthanised.

Nope! Thousands of people did want to adopt him after that! And he's still available if you're interested!! http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/18772025

Usually, we check if the heart is still beating before "disposing" of their corpses. He couldn't really "appear" dead, but if the person didn't check, or if he wasn't really good with a stethoscope, that might be the answer!!
