How to find a dog
The article says that Clara Peters was a housewife, which seems unlikely given the nature of her public offer. But who knows.

Result of artificial sleep in a biological experiment
In the 1950s, reports came out of the Soviet Union about an unusual experiment in which a dog's life was radically lengthened by putting it into an artificial sleep for three months.The research was done by S.N. Braines (I have no idea what "S.N." stands for). I believe that he reported his results in a 1952 article titled, "Result of artificial sleep in a biological experiment," published in a Soviet journal. But I can't be sure because I can't find the text of the article.
The results he achieved sound unlikely to me.

Struck by falling dog
I posted a few days ago about a woman who was struck by a sheep that fell off a bridge. Here's a similar (but fatal) case of a motorcyclist hit by a dog that fell off a bridge.So, while I knew that people being hit by falling humans is a recurring phenomenon, evidently so is people being hit by falling animals.
