Now you don't need a reflector shield at night when you're jogging with Fido!



SEOUL, South Korea - South Korean scientists say they have engineered four beagles that glow red using cloning techniques that could help develop cures for human diseases. The four dogs, all named "Ruppy" — a combination of the words "ruby" and "puppy" — look like typical beagles by daylight.

But they glow red under ultraviolet light, and the dogs' nails and abdomens, which have thin skins, look red even to the naked eye.

o hell no....i got a pair of crocs and then croc charms that glowed in the day....i get up in the middle of the night to do something.. the damn things scared me to death....i like dogs that blend in lol
 
omg would their shedded hair glow in the dark?

Most likely not, biological luminescent cells need to remain alive to glow. So hair wouldn't glow naturally, but skin can be made to without any risk through genetic alterations like this.
