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.
"He was just as healthy as could be," Scott Prall told News 9.
The puppies were selected to be euthanized because of illness, as well as overcrowding due to limited shelter space in the state, said Amanda Kloski, a veterinarian in Oklahoma who has been caring for the puppy since his resurrection.

lol

Maybe they meant the biohazard dumpster?

lol at "AAA rated shithole"

but yeah, they likely have biohazard-only dumpsters out back, as any hospital would.


this isn't all that surprising, though. It's weird, however, that they don't employ a secondary method after the injection. spending much time in an animal research facility, I can tell you that if a single little mouse pup wakes up in a bag surrounded by all of his departed brothers and sisters, and the Feds are wised up to that--your lab will get busted so hard.

It happens quite frequently since CO2 is generally the required method, and it isn't 100% certain (it's also an abominable euthinization method); which is why you're generally required to perform a secondary method afterward--cervical dislocation, or slicing up the body cavity.

From the comments:

"The "clinic" does not dump the animal is any dumpster. It's a holding dumpster where the euthanized animal are kept until they can be properly disposed of."

They weren't going to the city dump, just burned along with all the other biomedical waste including bloody bandages and amputated limbs.
