Object Class: safe
Special Containment Procedures:
scp xxxx is to be kept at site kenels and to be walked twice a day round the site avoiding research areas to not disturb any researchers.
It's not allowed off permissive or off leed during these walks.
Walking duty is allocated to a volunteer based system with security and janitorial staff with at least level 1 clearance.
SCP xxxx is to were a tracking collar at all times incase of escape and is to be traqulized in such an event. Description:
Scp xxxx is a male cani of the Blue Australian Cattle Dog breed, is approximately six years old, 15.4kgs in weight, 49cms in quadrupedal height and has been neutered.
Having been used as a test subject by professor Bertrand ██████, fromley of Ohio State University, SCP xxxx is capable of human speech speaking American English with a cracked scratchy voice. Despite this, scp xxxx suffers from an apparent servear Canis variant of tourette's syndrome with this making scp xxxx struggle to speak full sentences as a result.
The most common words spoken being curse words of the four letter variety along with the words "food" "butterfly", the meaning of the latter being unknown.
SCP verbalize with what would otherwise be barks, howls and yelps. These are around double the normal volume and pitch of dogs of it's breed.
Sounds such as moans and other similar noises it does as common dogs would do.
SCP xxxx is often seen twitching, witch also appears to be a results of it's condition.
SCP xxxx appears to understand what is said to it, wether this is from the experiments done to it or just previous training is not yet known.

What professor ██████ did to SCP xxxx too cause it to be able to speak is not known and presumed losted and not repeatable according to ██████ log.

Addendum:
SCP xxxx was found in [REDACTED] Ohio, September, 2015, after reports of a talking stray dog made there way to the foundation.
Agents sent to investigate found scp xxxx 0.7kms from professor ██████ house, upon looking into its history found that it had been rescued from a local dog shelter by Bertrand ██████ two weeks before hand, when arriving at his house they found him hanged inside the basement in a make shift laboratory, with burn marks round the room showing evidence of a recent unreported fire.
A log book detailing the experiment was recoverd, the final entry reading as follows.

"Tourettes, fucking tourettes! Of all those muts at that pound I had to pick the one who can only say fuck, shit, piss and butterfly to pour all my life's work into. Fucking buttefly, that's the Iongest sentence it's said! I chose him thinking he was talkative, the perfect one to show off my work, those sons of bitchs back at the college called me crazy and threw me out for it. Would be a even Bigger joke if I came back with this.. thing! Losted and forgot the recipe for it aswell after that damn fire this stupid flee bag caused after he got loose so not like I can just get another dog for a retry. Banked my entire career, my whole life on this peice of shit! I'm finished, gonna drink myself to hell, hopefully I snap and do something inrational. Fuck this dog, fuck this town, fuck this world."

On site personnel have takken to informally refuring to SCP xxxx as David or Dave. This name is not to be used in offical documents.

Test with other canis show that SCP xxxx will asurt a dominate role in a pack in 72% of tests with this number being 89% with dogs of the same size or smaller and 55% of trials with dogs of bigger size. This has been linked to the volume of SCP xxxx vocalizations and the link between human speech and submittson dogs with training have.
This number drops by 27% for smaller dogs and 34% with bigger dogs that lack any significant human contact.
Attempts to utilize scp xxxx as either a sniffer or guard dog has yet to prove being worth continuing.
training linking certain words made by scp xxxx to what it smells failing with it being unable to choose witch words it says.
Due to SCP xxxx size attack training was deemed not worth pursuing past basic.
Guard duty with SCP xxxx being used for purley the psylogical affect it has on individuals not anticipating the vocals made by it.
Attempts to use scp xxxx to assist with training of other canis yielding mixed results, noted to cause more confusion for the dogs rather than offer any benefit.
To date scp xxxx has only been used in the feild for it's psylogical effect on prisoners on site and has not been used for any of the other above mentions purposes.
Recordings of SCP xxxx played back to SCP xxxx have shown that it does not seem to recognise itself and upon hearing words remaniant of commands from the dog handlers will follow these commands.
Requests from certain researchers to have SCP xxxx terminated to be autopsyed in effort to aide research have since been denided on the grounds that there isn't enough evidence it'll revile anything unknown that will make termination worth while.
staff moral was also sighted with many developing a bond to scp xxxx.
All such tests have been postponed till Scp xxxx naturally expires.
SCP xxxx shows no sign of looseing it's ability to talk over time.
If this maintains true for the estimated next 9 years of life SCP xxxx has left is to be seen.
Testing with D-class personnel shows when in a aggressive state, SCP xxxx doubles pitch and begin saying random words as lound as possible with a higher vocabulary than normal.
When in a sleeping state SCP xxxx will have a 17% chance to begin verbalizing racial slurs with this yet to occur while awake.
