New Scientist: Fluorescent puppy is world's first transgenic dog
A cloned beagle named Ruppy—short for Ruby Puppy—is the world's first transgenic dog. She and four other beagles all produce a fluorescent protein that glows red under ultraviolet light.

Yes, that's right, I'm on about talking dogs again.
Just imagine: a talking dog.
Ooby Rooooo!
