Item #: SCP-9047
Object Class: Neutralized (formerly Safe)
Special Containment Procedures: The cremated remains of SCP-9047 are stored in an urn in the office of Researcher Earl Johnson at Site-██. Prior to its neutralization, SCP-9047 was housed in a standard canine containment chamber at Site-18, furnished with a small pet bed, multiple chew toys, an automated water dispenser, and an automated kibble dispenser providing three meals daily.
Description: SCP-9047 is a male Cardigan Welsh corgi1 which is identical to any other dog of its breed, with the exception of its exceptional longevity and apparent total immunity to physical trauma and pathogens (whether anomalous or non-anomalous), rendering it incapable of carrying or transmitting any infectious agents. Besides this, SCP-9047 displays no unusual behavior, and exhibits standard behavioral responses to positive and negative stimuli—with the exception of exposure to pathogens or physical harm, which it simply ignores. SCP-9047 is described by Foundation personnel as having a calm, affectionate personality, and is usually referred to by its nickname "Craig" outside of official documentation.
Discovery: SCP-9047 was adopted on behalf of the Foundation in ██/██/198█ by Researcher Johnson from a dog shelter in [REDACTED], Nevada. Prior to this, reports were circulating in the town of [REDACTED] regarding a "miracle puppy" which had emerged unharmed from a rear-end collision with a Ford Pinto2 that resulted in the deaths of █ passengers and severe injuries to the driver. SCP-9047 was found in the trunk of the car by a homeless man who witnessed the incident and brought SCP-9047 to a local dog shelter, where SCP-9047 was kept until its adoption by Researcher Johnson; it was transferred to Site-18 for containment the following day. Foundation agents embedded in local media outlets administered Class-B amnestics to witnesses and altered local news reports to state that SCP-9047 had perished in the accident.
Document: In order to measure the extent of SCP-9047's physical resilience, testing has been ordered by Dr. ██████████. Below are notable excerpts from testing logs involving SCP-9047 being exposed to various forms of physical trauma.
Document: Following successful trials of SCP-9047's physical resilience and exposure to various foods and substances toxic to canines, SCP-9047 was exposed to various pathogens by order and under the supervision of Dr. ██████████. Prior to these tests, Researcher Johnson was prohibited from allowing SCP-9047 to be vaccinated against any diseases.
Dr. ██████████ later attempted to breed SCP-9047 with other dogs in an attempt to ascertain the nature of SCP-9047’s anomalous properties. All offspring of SCP-9047 were terminated via captive bolt pistol, suggesting that its anomalous properties are intrinsic to it rather than being related to its genetics in some form.
By order of the Ethics Committee, further testing of SCP-9047's anomalous capabilities is prohibited.
Addendum: On 12/26/2004, SCP-9047 passed away in its sleep of natural causes and was reclassified to Neutralized, as its remains exhibited no anomalous effects and were able to be cremated shortly after analysis. A small funeral was held the following week for SCP-9047 at [REDACTED] with Site-18 staff in attendance. Dr. ██████████ was absent from the funeral, and Researcher Johnson requested transfer to Site-██ shortly afterwards.
