Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: methods for containing this SCP is still unknown. If this SCP is spotted then it should be treated as though completely normal to prevent suspicion from public about its unusual circumstances. all sightings of SCP-XXXX should be reported to the foundation immediately to keep track of SCP-XXXX's movement. Affection and good treatment for SCP-XXXX by foundation members is suggested to increase the number of visits to foundation sites by SCP-XXXX.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a male red kelpie/cattle dog with a bulky build and a bullet hole in one ear. SCP-XXXX is able to appear in any place at any time, only ever first spotted in the distance. SCP-XXXX is friendly to most humans as any dog but cannot be tamed except in one particular case. He often seen near roads, towns and other civilisation structures. SCP-XXXX has been known to more frequently visit those who treat him in a friendly manner. He was first spotted suspiciously in 1980 by Agent Vanselow who was finishing up SCP monitoring in the Northern Areas of Western Australia. SCP-XXXX seems to hold characteristics identical to a famous dog in the area that went by multiple names. It is unknown how SCP-XXXX is able to appear at any given place, not how, to every observer in the area, he is only ever first spotted at a distance. Dotted maps of SCP-XXXX's sightings show increases in frequency and spread of sightings, with most centred from the Northern part of Western Australia.

It is strongly suggested by coincidence that SCP-XXXX is somehow related to the famous dog that died in the area of SCP-XXXX's first sighting. Investigations into the dog show that although legally owned by no individual, was reported by locals to have been very close to foundation member Agent Stazzonelli, who went missing after being called in to [REDACTED] an outbreak of [DATA EXPUNGED] in a former [REDACTED] mining town. records of agent Stazzonelli suggest no suspicious activity beyond losing SCP-████ which had a "safe" object class.

Addendum XXXX-1: several foundation members were sent to investigate the dog that bears similarities to SCP-XXXX under the guise of a "vacation". The foundation members questioned locals who seemed to all know this dog, and spotted a statue of the dog that has a very similar appearance to SCP-XXXX at one of the town's visitors centre. They also described the area of investigation as "hot" and that "I thought we were going to see Sydney or something".

Addendum XXXX-2: First sighting of SCP-XXXX outside of the state of Western Australia has been observed in Darwin in the Northern Territory and towns between the WA border with the Northern Territory. Previous sightings have extended as far as Perth, but until now has not reached further than the state.

Addendum XXXX-3: reports from several agents in the Western parts of Australia noted that SCP-XXXX increased its visiting frequency as it was further fed and shown affection. Foundation has suggested that Foundation personnel administer positive interactions with SCP-XXXX in order to increase his visits and allow for closer examination of SCP-XXXX.

Addendum XXXX-4: SCP-XXXX was able to be examined today by foundation members who drew his attention with treats. Veterinary tests show that SCP-XXXX has identical characteristics and conditions as documents acquired from the vet that treated the famous dog, Further implying they are the same. DNA samples of SCP-XXXX were grabbed in the form of hair, but vanished as soon as SCP-XXXX wandered off. They also noted that SCP-XXXX produces an unusually putrid fart that was described as "an anomaly within itself". requests to refer to SCP-XXXX's gas as SCP-XXXX-1 have been denied.

Addendum XXXX-5: a theory of Dr.O'neil that SCP-XXXX will not wander off so long as SCP-XXXX is kept in sight. In an experiment similar to procedures done with SCP-173, three personnel including Dr.O'neil himself locked in a standard containment cell with strong airflow to "prevent that keter smell of his from killing us". two members maintained eye contact with SCP-XXXX at all times while a third kept the SCP entertained. After about 3 hours, the usual time in which SCP-XXXX would leave, visible signs of restlessness started to show. On the 5th hour, SCP-XXXX was gone. Dr.Oneil described in an audio log that "all three of us kinda just phased out, lost our concentration. we kinda got lost in our thoughts a bit, at the same time, I doubt that's a bloody coincidence." In a written report regarding the experiment, Dr.O'neil concluded that the lapse of concentration was caused by SCP-XXXX in order to escape and requested to retry the test with small doses of Dextroamphetamine provided in the form of his own ADHD medication to each of the members to see if the time of SCP-XXXX's enforced attention lapse was fixed or dependent on the concentration of the observers. approval still pending.

Addendum XXXX-6: SCP-XXXX made his first appearance outside of Australia, spotted near a Japanese port. foundation members located in Japan have been notified and informed on the correct procedures for SCP-XXXX if encountered. SCP-XXXX has yet to be spotted in the eastern parts of Australia, though has been found in some parts of South Australia and has been seen further East in the Northern Territory since last reports.

Addendum XXXX-7: requests to access further documents on Agent Stazzonelli have been put forth and is currently under review. Dr.O'neil has also been approved for further experimenting with SCP-XXXX's attention lapsing abilities, but has reported no sightings of SCP-XXXX since the last experiment he conducted. Dr.O'neil expressed his worry about upsetting SCP-XXXX and suggested that experiments conducted of his nature might result in SCP-XXXX ceasing his return.

Addendum XXXX-8: requests to access further documents regarding Agent Stazzonelli have been approved. The documents, however, were highly censored, especially around the time Agent Stazzonelli went missing.

Addendum XXXX-9: [DATA EXPUNGED]
