Mm Mm Good
I can tell a lot of effort went into this. It's difficult to make a serious SCP with that kind of picture. Good job. Upvote.
could this be a Factory item? We don't have enough Factory items.
Eh. Honestly, I think you went with the one of the most predictable effects you could use for the picture (other than actually making the dogs intelligent), and I didn't find the execution charming enough to excuse it.
That's just it though…the interviews prove that the animal is NOT talking, it is only the people's perception of the animal. Thus this is touching some aspect of their personality, not any effect on the dog itself. As a result I find this to be rather intriguing, although I'd challenge anyone to come up with a reasonable K-class scenario involving it…..
The fact that it's only a talking animal when a human looks at it doesn't do enough for me to make up for the fact that it's a talking animal.
Well, that's just it. It's NOT a talking animal. It's the person talking to themselves, but the collars modifies that internal dialogue so that the dog APPEARS to be the other voice. There is no actual change in the dog, which presumably continues doing its regular doggy things.

SCP-1279-1: You'll never stop being a disappointment. You know that, right? When you're dead, no one will mourn or even remember you.
SCP-1279-1 wags tail vigorously
Dr. Daniels: Christ, Hank. I- I don't know what to s-
SCP-1279-1: God, you're terrible. It's been downhill since you lost the big game. Remember how disappointed your dad looked? He said you gave it your best and that was all that mattered, but you saw it in his eyes. He never smiled at you quite the same way again.
SCP-1279-1 places front paws on Dr. Daniels' leg, panting heavily
Dr. Daniels: N-no. But I got into medical school. I made something of myself. I have a good life. What I do matters.
SCP-1279-1: What, a lab rat for some faceless organization? Stop deluding yourself; for god's sake, man, you're talking to a dog.
SCP-1279-1 sits and proceeds to scoot around containment cell, dragging hindquarters on floor
SCP-1279-1: There is no hope. End it before you humiliate yourself further.
Best comment.
The weird perception issue and the really fucking bent note at the end really make this work for me.
Couldn't stop fucking laughing at that picture. And the SCP was good, too.
if your reading this your gay
Argued with myself over this one…but upvoted.

Am I the only person who involuntarily hears a rockin' surf guitar instrumental upon looking at that picture?
I think it might be a cognitohazard or something.
Not bad. Not bad at all. I wanted to downvote as soon as I saw the picture, but I don't like to reflex-vote if I can avoid it…by the end you won me over. Good work as always.
