Euthinized puppy rises from dead - looking for new family.

[ichy]

So we should neuter our children like we do to our puppies?

I wish we could euthanize that grow up to be feral.

The problem with "cute little puppies" is the same with children...they grow up to be dogs...

Neuter your animals and eliminate the need for most shelters to have to put down "cute little puppies."

Hint: If they grow up to be dogs, they probably weren't children

That dog is part honey badger!

This dog has Tigerblood running through his veins.

It's sad that cute little puppies are put down and worthless pieces of shit like you are still here.

lol

I'm happy you're comfortable with valuing canine life over human life.

It's just an animal, however, you attach some magical properties to it because it's "cute."

I love dogs and the pup in the story is adorable but it was being put down for a reason. The article states it was diseased and every pound cannot hold onto infinite dogs and cats for an infinite amount of time until someone like you gets a bug up your butt to adopt one.

Let's keep things in perspective here.

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.

Something isn't adding up here.

I have a feeling they:

- Didn't use the full dose they were supposed to, to be cheap.
- Didn't bother to wait for them to be dead before throwing them in the bin, so they didn't actually confirm.
- Killed the puppies only due to the limited shelter space, and had nothing to do with any illness.

That shelter needs to be investigated.

What's really disturbing is that if they had not just been thrown in the trash, and had been buried immediately instead (isn't that what shelters typically do?), then the puppy would have been buried alive. If this article is just the tip of the iceburg on careless euthanasias, then there may be a LOT of animals getting buried alive.

OMG. :'(

wow, no suggestions to nuke it from orbit? hmm.

This dog is now wanted to be adopted by many people, but it's a shame that the vast majority of these same people would never consider adopting any of the other remaining animals at the shelter that were not in the news.

Correct. All of the puppies could have been saved.

Unfortunately, lots of underfunded shelters that deal with large numbers of stray dogs/cats still use gas chambers to euthanize.

One of my dogs was actually on death row and scheduled to be gas'd the week a rescue group came to GA from MA to grab whatever dogs it could off of death row. Great dog and sad to think he was scheduled to be put down.

Obviously that won't work either

well let's be clear, is it a zombie or an alien from Independence Day?

Actually, you're the one that came in to make a dumbass comment. Nobody wants to euthanize animals and thankfully the animal control officer that found him doesn't think like you.

Answers to the name "Zombie Dog".

There, I fixed that for ya.

Are there Nostradamus predictions of a dog rising from the dead?

It wasn't a "dumbass comment" but a valid criticism. Some people become overly attached to animals and make odd decisions regarding them. My sister in law whines about being disabled and that her SSI check doesn't cover her expenses, but somehow she can afford 3 cats.

All I'm saying is that animal shelters aren't made of money and it's unfortunate that so many animals go unwanted, are abused, or neglected. It's a sad reality that so many must be euthanized but we should not elevate the properties of an animal based on cuteness alone -- especially when such an elevation would drive a person to call for the death of another human being before that of a dog.

The dog was actually killed twice.

Underdog: Hundreds seek Okla. pup back from `dead'

Underdog: Hundreds seek Okla. pup back from `dead'

By KRISTI EATON, Associated Press Kristi Eaton, Associated Press – Wed Mar 2, 11:42 pm ET

OKLAHOMA CITY – Hundreds of people from the United States and Canada want to adopt an Oklahoma dog that survived an attempt to euthanize it.

The puppy was one of five stray dogs that Sulphur animal control officer Scott Prall put to sleep Friday — or so he thought. Prall found one of the dogs alive Saturday in a trash bin set aside for dead animals and took it to veterinarian technician Amanda Kloski.

"He was prancing around. He heard me drive up, and he looked up and saw me," Prall said Wednesday.

He said he initially found the stray dog near the animal shelter Friday and tried to kill it by injecting the dog with two lethal doses of a sedative in a foreleg and the heart. Each dose should have been enough to kill the dog, and the second injection was meant to ensure it worked.

Kloski noted the dog's survival on a pet adoption website, drawing the attention of Marcia Machtiger of Pittsburgh, who donated $100 so Kloski could board the dog for a week.

A girl from Sulphur named the puppy Wall-e, after a Disney movie character, and Machtiger posted Wall-e's story on her Facebook page.

She and Kloski are sorting through hundreds of e-mails and phone calls from people wanting to adopt the lucky dog.

"So many people are interested," Kloski said. "Now we're going through and trying to find the adoption applications for the best home."

Wall-e will be placed in a foster home at the end of the week while the search for a permanent home continues. Both Kloski and Machtiger said they have never seen so many people want to adopt one animal.

Machtiger said people are interested in the puppy because his story is unique.

"Having been euthanized basically twice. ... It's a resurrection and a will to live and a medical anomaly," she said.

Sulphur is about 80 miles south of Oklahoma City.

That doesn't match the first story.

Now I'm really confused.

good call.

:hmm: D:

 

[TheNinja]

Is it possible he missed the vein/artery when trying to inject it? Would the dog still die if it was missed?

 

[NetGuySC]

From what I see, the dog received two lethal doses of a sedative. It is my understanding that sedatives are labeled to be used to only sedate an animal not euthanize it. Here in SC I believe it is illegal to try to euthanise a dog by over sedating it. If a proper euthanasia drug was incorrectly administered by missing the heart or vein, if the animal was given the proper dosage by weight, the death will still occur but be very delayed, Instead of the normal 5 or 10 minutes for death to ocur, it may take 30 to 60 minutes.

There are other types of drugs that should be used after the animal is sedated to properly euthanize an animal. This one is the more popular ones. It is a schedule 2 narcotic I believe... http://www.drugs.com/vet/fatal-plus-solution.html This works basically by making the brain tell the heart and lungs to stop functioning.

If they tried to over sedate the animal as the story states, then that is the most likely the reason the dog came back to life, the sedation just wore off, much like the numbness eventually wears off after a visit to the dentist.

The sedation product label give useage amounts on the ability to sedate not euthanise an animal. Even if this amount was doubled, death would not be likely.

what the fuck?! that's horrible!

 

[Leros]

Its a dead dog, what would you do with it? At least the landfill is getting some good organic material.

 

[ImpulsE69]

Looks like that dog was protected by the spice. It must flow.

lmao

 

[eits]

cremate it or something... a fucking trash can?

 

[Leros]

cremate it or something... a fucking trash can?

Why waste the money? These shelters don't have enough money as it is. Cremating the dogs or performing some other proper burial would only reduce their budget and allow them to keep less dogs alive.

Also, why does it even matter? You think the dog cares what happens to it after it dies? There aren't any family members around who care about how the dead dog is treated.

Heck, they should sell the dogs for meat. You might as well get something useful out of the experience.
