[ 2 ] In the 1990s, the remains of 800 irradiated dogs, their toxic feces, and contaminated gravel were dug up, put in metal drums, and sent to a nuclear disposal ...
A previous study looked at genetic variants in the genomes of dogs near the abandoned plant, identifying 391 outlier DNA segments that differed between two populations.
Since 2017, the Clean Futures Fund has implemented annual clinics in the Chernobyl exclusion zone to vaccinate, spay, and neuter the dogs of Chernobyl. This effort is made to reduce the risk of rabies passing to workers and tourists, to decrease the population size of the dogs, and to minimize the suffering that the dogs experience. [5]

An early study on mice exposed to low dose of radiation daily (0.11 R per day) suggest that they may outlive control animals. [51] A study by Otsuka and collaborators found hormesis in animals. [52] Miyachi conducted a study on mice and found that a 200 mGy X-ray dose protects mice against both further X-ray exposure and ozone gas. [53]
According to Bully Watch, a group set up by a group of dog owners to monitor the breed, XL’s were responsible for 45 per cent of dog attacks on human and other dogs this year.
