They look a bit feisty in that top photo, don't they. Like they know they're mutant freaks, and one day they're going to have their revenge. The one on the right is the real psycho - which is why top-dog in the middle is holding him back, for now... Be afraid.

Dogs which glow in UV aren't that much use, not unless people start fitting UV headlights to their cars (and bicycles!).  A retroflective dog would be more use.
Actually, it is rocket science.

Excellent.  Now I can see Cujo coming. :thumbsup:
It takes blood and guts to be this cool but I'm still just a cliché.
