Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained on ground level of Site-56, with no overhead obstructions to the object. No species classified under the genus Canis are permitted within one kilometer of SCP-XXXX. In the event of an SCP-XXXX-A containment breach, procedure "XXXX-Lights Out" should be initiated as soon as possible to recontain any and all rogue instances of SCP-XXXX-A. Fog machines capable of visually suppressing the one kilometer radius around SCP-XXXX must be kept ready if needed for procedure "XXXX-Lights Out". Testing with SCP-XXXX requires either Level 3 research clearance or Level 2 clearance with written permission from a Level 4 researcher.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a tombstone measuring approximately 50 centimeters wide, 25 centimeters tall, and 10 centimeters thick. Material analyses of SCP-XXXX show ordinary granite with a composition similar to that found in ███████ ██████, North Carolina.
When any species falling under the genus Canis (subject SCP-XXXX-1) expires within one kilometer of SCP-XXXX, the subject's corpse (referred to as SCP-XXXX-A-1) becomes seemingly unaffected by external forces, tested with a standard 9mm m1911, AK-47, a standard bazooka, 40mm grenade launcher, a standard 1.25lb C4 charge, and a [REDACTED]. Instances of SCP-XXXX-A will begin to accelerate away from the core of the Earth at a constant rate of ██ meters per second per second. SCP-XXXX-A will continue to accelerate at this rate as long as it is directly observed by humans, whether that be with the naked eye or with optical aid (eyeglasses, telescopes, or cameras with a live video feed with a latency less than 30 seconds).
If an instance of SCP-XXXX-A is no longer directly observed by any humans, it will seemingly cease to exist. All attempts to capture footage by cameras or test subjects being placed on instances of SCP-XXXX-A at the time of disappearance do not give any clues as to what the cause of the disappearance is. The fastest velocity an observed instance of SCP-XXXX-A achieved was ██████████ meters per second, until it was out of range of all observational equipment and assumed missing indefinitely.
Procedure "XXXX-Lights Out": Designated fog machines located in the radius around SCP-XXXX are to be turned on to obscure as much immediate vision as possible. All foundation personnel on Site-56 are advised to close their eyes for approximately 30 seconds, as long as doing so would not allow further containment breaches of other SCPs. Any direct video feeds on and around Site-56 are to be either turned off or delayed by at least one minute, as to eliminate the instance of SCP-XXXX-A in question. After confirmation of instance disappearance utilizing cameras on a one minute delay, Procedure XXXX-Lights Out is considered successful and all site operations may return to normal functionality.
Addendum: Per my junior researchers request, I have put in for a testing proposal for weaponizing SCP-XXXX as an anti-orbital anomalous weapon to the O5 council. It hasn't been accepted nor denied, so quit asking already!

Discovery: SCP-XXXX was found ██/██/20██ in the backyard of Deborah [REDACTED] in ██████████, North Carolina, after her neighbor's dog's corpse was observed to "fly through the air." An interview with Deborah was conducted upon the foundation's procurement of SCP-XXXX, and Deborah was administered amnestics shortly before being sent back to her home. A transcript of Deborah's and Dr. Robert Bryant is available below.
Interviewed: Deborah [REDACTED]
Interviewer: Dr. Robert Bryant
<Begin Log>
Dr. Robert Bryant: Please describe the incident on ██/██/20██.
Deborah: Well, I was watering my garden, when I heard my neighbor, Kathy, scream. It was piercing, everyone must've heard it for 10 miles around. I saw the neighbors just kept lookin' up at somethin', but I couldn't quite make it out…
Dr. Robert Bryant: Please continue
Deborah: After that I brought out the telescope my husband insisted was mandatory at every house and useful, and yet hadn't used in 5 years. I looked through the dusty ol' thing and saw what looked like a dog, just peacefully goin' to heaven.
Dr. Robert Bryant: To heaven?
Deborah: Yeah, after all, every dog goes to heaven. Where else is there to go for a dog after leavin'?
Dr. Robert Bryant: So then, mind telling me where you got that tombstone in your backyard?
Deborah: We had just buried our dog, Fido He was such a good boy. He better have been accepted into heaven by God, I'm sure he was. He did no harm to no one, he only deserves the best up there.
Dr. Robert Bryant: I see. Where did you get that tombstone made?
Deborah: Oh, I got it from… from… I can't seem to remember. It must've been somewhere close to town, 'cause I didn't wanna go too far for just a tombstone. I don't know of any well-known places around town, pretty sure I just drove 'till I found a place.
Dr. Robert Bryant: Please ma'am, try to remember where you might've gotten that tombstone from. Any location or description is helpful.
Deborah: I really can't remember the place, but I remember it just bein' off the side of Interstate 85. Couldn't've been too far from where I am. I wanna say it was around that ol' Baptist church I went to a few years back over by 1526, if that helps.
Dr. Robert Bryant: Thank you, ma'am. Have there been any other incidents like those with Kathy?
Deborah: I don't recall any, no. Not sure if anyone else's dog's died since Fido or not, so I can't say for sure, but I would think there'd be a huge fuss if anyone saw that again. I just wanna go home, can I go home now?
Dr. Robert Bryant: Yes, thank you for your cooperation.

Closing Statement: A 10 kilometer area around the given location was searched by Foundation agents. No shop selling or making tombstones was found in the given area. Deborah and all witnesses to this instance of SCP-XXXX-A were administered amnestics and sent back to their residences. After search of Deborah's backyard, no remains of any canine were located.
