Maybe this makes a midnight snack easier to find.

Meet Ruppy, the glow-in-the-dark puppy.

The pups produce a protein that glows under ultraviolet light, New Scientist magazine reported yesterday.

The team that created Ruppy was led by Byeong-Chun Lee of Seoul National University in South Korea, who with stem-cell researcher Woo Suk Hwang was part of the scientific effort that in 2005 created Snuppy, the first cloned dog.


Greg Barsh, a Stanford University geneticist who studies dogs as models of disease, called it an "important accomplishment," according to the magazine.

They do indeed. Of course if you frequent enough Oriental restaurants around here you probably have also.
