Test #:3
Conducted By: Agent ██████ and Agent ████
Test: D-XXX-3 To be infected, and attempted to be cured before stage 3
Results: Any attempt to remove SCP-XXX from the digestive system where successful. However the infection remained, And could only be cured by a dose of SCP-500, after █ Hour of Attempts. D-XXX-3 Now responds to the name "Elvis" Instead of his Class D resignation, Or his previous name. D-XXX-3 Has also displayed his affinity for Biscuits, While he "Hated the damn things" before the test. It seems that some of the transformation cannot be reversed. Subject terminated at the end of the month.

Test #:4
Conducted By: Dr.███
Test: D-XXX-4 and D-XXX-2 to be placed in the same room and observed.
Results: D-XXX-4 (With a Feline brain due to SCP-XXX infection) and D-XXX-2 are placed in a room together. After █ seconds, D-XXX-2 attempted to sniff D-XXX-4, Who responded by hitting D-XXX-2 in the nose, D-XXX-2 responded by making a loud "Bark" noise. D-XXX-4 Moved to the corned of the room and made a low growling sound. At this point one of the guards enters the room with a rolled up magazine from the nearby staff room and subdues D-XXX-2. D-XXX-4 Stays in the corner, And is recovered with a spray bottle, Filled with normal water.

It seems that a rolled up newspaper is effective on the Dog infected subjects, And water is great for the Cat ones. Keep this in mind while testing. -Dr.██████

Agent ████ expressed his desire to keep D-XXX-2 as a pet. Denied, Due to possible infection risk
