Per 
The Collar of Secrets
Item #: SCP-XXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in Medium-Security Locker 52B on site 19.
Addendum: Any testing is to take place in a sealed room, with barriers between the subject and any observing personnel. Two (2) guards with tranquilizer guns are to be present at all times.
Addendum 2: All testing currently suspended by Site Director’s order.
Description:
SCP-XXX is a rainbow nylon dog collar with a black plastic clasp, and a brass tag engraved with “Mindy” on one side, and “28 Beech St, ██████, ██” on the other. Both the color and the tag are required for the anomalous properties to manifest. SCP-XXX comfortably fits any neck it is placed on.
When worn by a dog (hereafter referred to as the Subject), SCP-XXX grants sapience, the ability to speak at least one human language, as well as knowledge of a single “secret”. The precise parameters for defining a “secret” are unknown, but believed to be any knowledge known by a small enough number of people.
Subjects have shown complete willingness to divulge their secrets, but each will request a fixed “price” for the knowledge. All efforts to extract the secret without paying the price have proved futile. Each subject has displayed typical canine desires (food and play), and were willing to conduct interviews with Foundation personnel.
SCP-XXX Was discovered when a labrador-whippet mix named Mindy arrived at site XX, Saying “I know who you are and what you do. Please take this damn thing off me, it hurts my head after too long.” SCP-XXX was purchased by Mindys owners at an ordinary ███ █████ chain, and attempts to discover its origin has proven fruitless.
