If the dog survives, it will only mean that the dog survived. Having a
different digestive system from us you cannot simply extrapolate the
dog's survival to a "safe for humans" statement. Clinical test are much
more complex than what you imply. But, to express my opinion, doing this
to any animal should be outlawed as it was for experiments conducted, in
a not very distant past, on prisonners or slaves of any origin.
