Item #: SCP-5922

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5922 is to be kept in a fenced enclosure at all times, within a standard containment cell. SCP-5922's enclosure is to be cleaned on a bi-weekly basis, during the cleaning process, SCP-5922 is to be sedated and relocated to a temporary alternative containment cell.

Faculty on break are allowed to verbally interact with SCP-5922. However; physical interaction with SCP-5922 is strictly prohibited. All contact with SCP-5922 is prohibited unless for testing or relocation. Violation of this order will result in swift and immediate disciplinary action. - Dr. Milan.

One D-class subject is to make physical contact with SCP-5922 every 24 hours. Any faculty or staff that come into physical contact with SCP-5922 and experience incidents of either Type B or C are to immediately report to an on-site psychologist for therapy. Therapy sessions are to be held on a semi-weekly basis for at least two months after the occurrence of the incident.

Description: SCP-5922 is a male domesticated dog seeming to resemble a mix of both the American pit bull and the Rottweiler. Black fur measuring no longer than 5 centimetres covers a vast majority of SCP-5922's frame, with white patches of fur appearing on the canine's upper abdominal and frontal paws. The entity weighs 34.2 kilograms and is measured to be 1.28 meters when standing on hind legs.

Dental examinations done by Site-██'s veterinary staff have shown SCP-5922 to be no older than 14 months, despite the fact that SCP-5922 was acquired by Agent █████ on ██/██/20██, well over ██ years ago.

SCP-5922 shows behavior like that of a standard domesticated dog, being affectionate and playful with individuals, whilst showing anti-social and even aggressive behavior to non-humanoid entities, such as rabbits, felines, and other canines. It has been determined SCP-5922 has slightly above average intelligence [for a canine] after multiple assessments on obedience and problem-solving.

Any individual that makes skin-contact with SCP-5922's body will enter into a brief state of shock which has been recorded to last between 0.9 and 3.6 seconds. During this shock state, the subject will enter into a state where the individual will relive one of their former memories in real time, however; despite the subject being conscious and aware of their state, the subject will not be able to move or speak at their own will, and are forced to speak and act as they did during said memory. In a sense, the subject is forced to relive a memory with every minute detail being correct.¹

Type-A: Memories that are described by the subject as happy, exciting, nostalgic, etc,. are classified as type-A memories, memories that are overall positive. Subject who experience these type-A memories report feeling much more positive, energetic, and confident afterwards. Based off reports of those who come into contact with SCP-5592, these memories generally last between 30 seconds to 10 minutes. Type-A memories have been reported in 90% of cases of physical interaction with SCP-5922.

Type-B: Memories in which the subject feels extreme physical, mental, or emotional anguish are classified as type-B memories, those who experience a type-B memory incident have reported the incidents lasting from 2 minutes to over ██ hours.² Type-B instances have been reported in 8% of cases. However; it appear type-B incidents occur at a much higher rate if SCP-5922 is deprived of its standard diet for extended periods of time, it is currently unknown why.

Type-C: Incidents of this category are extremely rare and have only been shown to occur in 2% of physical interactions with SCP-5922. Type-C incidents are different due to the subject's ability to move and speak as they please, but the subject will not encounter any organic beings aside from instances of SCP-5922-2³, these entities appear as nude male humanoids possessing the body of a human, while having the head of a canine. Based off interviews with subjects who have experienced type-C incidents, SCP-5922-2 appears to maintain a distance of approximately 20 meters at all times, although SCP-5922-2 instances will pursue the subject at a moderate pace if a distance of more than 50 meters separates the subject from SCP-5922-2.⁴ Type-C incidents have been recorded by subjects to last between 1 hour, to over ██ days.

After the Type-A, B, or C incident occurs, if the subject has an intense emotional reaction to the memory (whether it be positive or negative) and SCP-5922 is not sedated, the entity will enter a state of hyperactivity ranging from 3 to 12 minutes

If SCP-5922 has not made physical contact with a humanoid individual in over 26 hours, the entity will begin to show signs of extreme emaciation and dehydration. It has been determined SCP-5922 causes subjects to experience a former memory in order to get an emotional reaction and essentially "feed itself."⁵

Addendum 5922-01: Discovery

SCP-5922 was discovered by Agent █████ in an abandoned housing complex located in ██████, Nebraska, whilst aiding in the recovery of SCP-███. Agent █████ made accidental physical contact with SCP-5922 when the entity brushed against the Agent's slightly exposed ankle, this caused a type-█ incident to occur and SCP-5922 was contained shortly afterwards at Site-██.

TEST LOG: T-5992-01

Subject: D-592201, 42-year old male.

Procedure: Subject is instructed to place their hand on SCP-5922's back.

Results: Subject immediately entered the shock state, which lasted 2.3 seconds. Subject reported that they experienced a memory in which the subject was at "the lake" drinking alcohol was his girlfriend and multiple other compatriots around sunset with a bonfire lit, until law enforcement arrived, during said time D-592201 recalled having fled the scene. Subject reported feeling a mix of nostalgia, excitement, and happiness after the shock state was over. SCP-5922 attempted to make contact with the subject another time but was restrained by security personnel.

Note: It is now confirmed that we have an anomalous entity in our custody now, more tests to be held in the near future. I also want SCP-5922 sedated before every test to prevent another potential accident from occurring. - Dr. Carver

TEST LOG: T-5992-04

Subject: D-592204, 24-year old female.

Note: Even better news, it appears as though the entity has the ability to make those who come into contact with it feel remorse for previous actions, we need to run more tests as soon as possible. - Dr. Carver

TEST LOG: T-5992-31

Subject: D-592231, 35-year old female.

INTERVIEW LOG: INT-5922-01

Interviewer: Dr. Quenten

Interviewee: D-592234

<Begin Log>

Dr. Quenten: Good afternoon, D-592234, how are you feeling today?

D-592234: I don't know Doctor, what do you think? I was just in fing Doggyville, USA, for ██ whole [REDACTED] I'm not exactly fine and dandy.

Dr. Quenten: D-592234, I would like to remind you uncooperative behavior will result in SCP-███ duty for a month, so I think it would be in your best interest that you're cooperative. Anyways, could you please describe what happened during your time in the dream?

D-592234: *Audibly sights* Alright, so I gave the dog a pat like you and your friends asked, and all of a sudden my vision went black for a moment. Then, I'm in the middle of this neighborhood I've never seen in my life.

Dr. Quenten: Would you please describe this neighborhood?

D-592234: You want me to describe every house in amazing detail? Just imagine a neighborhood with no trees, freshly cut lawns, and one to two story houses as far as I saw.

Dr. Quenten: Alright, and one thing that you mentioned to researchers was there was no normal life, is that correct?

D-592234: Yep! Not one living thing, no birds, people, nothing. I didn't see a single thing alive during my time in that [DATA EXPUNGED]! Well, except for dog-man.

Dr. Quenten: Ah yes, the, "dog people"; could you please describe these dog people for me D-592234?

D-592234: No, not people, it was a dog person, there was only one. I told them that multiple times. Anyways, imagine a guy, naked as day, but you take off the human head and replace it with a dog head, real freaky.

Dr. Quenten: Would you mind describing the entity with a little more detail?

D-592234: I mean, he was Caucasian, pretty pasty, and he was a little bit on the heavier side, he looked normal, aside from being naked and having dog-head. The head though, it looked like one of those husky breeds, with the grey-white fur and pointy ears.

Dr. Quenten: Interesting, and I was informed that you mentioned it "smiled" at you, correct?

D-592234: Yeah, the creepiest part, that dog-man was doing the closest thing it could do to a smile.

Dr. Quenten: So from what I'm hearing it was bearing its teeth at you it seems, am I correct?

D-592234: Whatever you want to call it, but yeah I could see its teeth, and they were huge. I was immediately set off by that thing itself but the teeth finally did it for me.

Dr. Quenten: So you ran, did it pursue you?

D-592234: Well yeah I ran, wouldn't you? I hauled [DATA EXPUNGED] for a few blocks until I found a parked car which I hid behind to take a breath. I looked through the car window to see if it followed and I could see it in the distance jogging in my direction. That's when I ran into the house to hide.

Dr. Quenten: How long did you stay secluded in the house for? Did the entity know your whereabouts?

D-592234: I was in there for a good ██ hours, I hid in the upstairs bedroom under a bunch of blankets. It had gotten dark outside from what I could tell, but I didn't sleep for a second of it.

Dr. Quenten: So, as far as you knew, you had "deceived" the entity?

D-592234: I don't know, maybe? I was terrified, I had just watched a dog-man-thing try to chase me. For all I know it was sitting outside the bedroom door, waiting for me to leave.

Dr. Quenten: You never left the bedroom? You were in there for ██ hours, what did you do during that time?

D-592234: I begged, I begged and prayed for something to save me, to take me back to reality. Then I felt warm and I blacked out, when I could see again I was in the dog's pen.

Dr. Quenten: Thank you, D-592234. That will be all for today, you're dismissed.

Addendum 5922-02: Document #5922-1:

The following slip of paper was found on Dr. Carver's desk a days after Dr. Carver had [DATA EXPUNGED], the following was written on the slip of paper:

I now remember everything, the memories that I shoved in the back of my head, the horrors I forced myself to forget, it brought them all back to me.

Please, please just let me forget.

Addendum 5922-03: Announcement regarding SCP-5922:

I would like to remind all faculty that SCP-5922 is still an anomalous entity, an entity that is capable of causing extreme distress to those it touches. I do not want to hear anymore talk of SCP-5922's "unnecessary" containment procedures. - Dr. Quenten

Footnotes

1. It is currently unknown if SCP-5922 causes these realistic flashbacks intentionally or maliciously.

2. Researchers have not been able to determine why type-B incidents last for a longer span of time than type-A memories.

3. Subjects who have experienced a type-C scenario have reported seeing no more than one (1) instance of SCP-5922-2 at a time.

4. Due to research staff's inability to study instances of 5922-2, it is currently unknown if instances of SCP-5922-2 pose a physical threat to subjects within the dream state.

5. During the period of emaciation, SCP-5922 has been recorded to cause Type-B memories to occur much more frequently than times when it is "well-fed." The reasoning for this being that the entity desires to get a stronger emotional reaction from the subject.

6. It has been speculated by researchers that Dr. Carver was referring to Site-██'s containment breach when SCP-███ breached containment, causing over ██ facility members to be classified as MIA. Dr. Carver along with a small amount of staff were the only individuals to be rescued by Retrieval Squad Beta 5-C.
