I don't like that people keep calling them 'zombie dogs', the tests said no brain damage...

Time till first human trial?

Some of them were quite messed up afterward.

FWIW, I don't like calling them "dead." They had enough metabolism to need an extra bit of glucose.

The lucky ones turn out to be perfectly normal with no brain damage  although other dogs are stricken with serious physical or behavioral problems.
