They taste like chicken. Glowing chicken.
Why glowing dogs, you ask? Well – it seems that this is really just a proof-of-concept test drive, if you will – proving that genes can be successfully impanted to produce ‘transgenic’ offspring…presumably with traits that are a little more useful than finding your car keys at night.
A South Korean scientist who created glowing cats in 2007 based on a similar cloning technique said that Lee’s puppies are genuine clones, saying he had seen them and had read about them in the journal.
“We can appraise this is a step forward” toward finding cures for human diseases, said veterinary professor Kong Il-keun at South Korea’s Gyeongsang National University. “What is important now is on what specific diseases (Lee’s team) will focus on.”
Why? Uh….hello! They GLOW. And that’s COOL. ^_^
Apparently they glow only under a black light, which destroys the coolness for me, since it only helps if they get lost and you have to look for them at night. I mean, if you’re gonna have glowing dogs, why limit yourself to a black light? Make them like fireflies, or better yet, let them sit in the sun all day then pounce around your bedroom at night. Who needs a night light when you can get a dog!
