Looks like the real Umbrella corporation has started

Zombie dogs aside, I heard there was a disease in Africa that would stop a person's heart, and then 2 or 3 hours later it would reanimate their body for an hour or so. Once the people were reanimated they had bad motor skills and were very angry. They weren't hungry for brains but they would break and destroy everything in sight.

I heard this a long time ago so I'm sorry I don't remember more information about it. Still, if real-life zombies is of interest then this is the closest thing to it that I can think of.

^ reliable source or hearsay?

Oh it was reliable. It was on somethingawful.com a while back. My friend told me about it cuz he peruses those forums, so I checked out the link and it was all legit.

the scientists were stupid for doing that. one day, dogs will be much more intelligent and seek revenge and they will no longer be "man's best friend" but "man's new owner." :
