If this doesn't make you shiver with creepy spiders up your spine, I don't know what will:
US scientists have succeeded in reviving the dogs after three hours of clinical death, paving the way for trials on humans within years.
Pittsburgh's Safar Centre for Resuscitation Research has developed a technique in which subject's veins are drained of blood and filled with an ice-cold salt solution.
The animals are considered scientifically dead, as they stop breathing and have no heartbeat or brain activity.
But three hours later, their blood is replaced and the zombie dogs are brought back to life with an electric shock.
Seemingly geared towards saving lives on the battlefield you nevertheless have to question where this sort of technology will take us. Dr. Frankenstein, meet the Medical Ethics Board of Directors.
