South Korean scientists create glowing dog: report

(Reuters) - South Korean scientists said on Wednesday they have created a glowing dog using a cloning technique that could help find cures for human diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, Yonhap news agency reported.

A research team from Seoul National University (SNU) said the genetically modified female beagle, named Tegon and born in 2009, has been found to glow fluorescent green under ultraviolet light if given a doxycycline antibiotic, the report said. The researchers, who completed a two-year test, said the ability to glow can be turned on or off by adding a drug to the dog's food.

A self-glowing dog, created by Korean scientists. Nope. Not gonna go there...

That is all.

So you don't trip over the bastard on the way to the bathroom at 3AM.
And when he runs away at night, he'll be easier to find. Very distinctive...
