A Foundation personnel specializing in canine veterinary is to complete a health inspection on SCP-3820 annually.
Description: SCP-3820 is a member of Canis lupus familiaris that is coated entirely in a material similar in texture and appearance to calcite, but is malleable enough to allow for normal movement.

Security footage of Site-19’s lobby showed the sudden appearance of a bright, blue-colored flash lasting for approximately one second before subsiding, with SCP-3820 manifesting at the center of the flash. Researchers have yet to determine the exact mechanism of SCP-3820's manifestation, or why it appeared at Site-19.

Incident Log-3820-1: On 08/08/2017, one month after SCP-3820's manifestation, Site-19 administration staff Harvey Black received a phone call from an unknown Person of Interest concerning SCP-3820. A follow-up investigation has failed to identify or trace the caller, appearing as if the call never transpired.
Below is a transcript of the conversation between the unknown caller and Black:
Black: Been a long day, so keep it short.
Caller: Oh, sorry, sorry! I'll just get straight to business then. Is this, uh… is this Site-19?
Black: …The hell are you- what’s your ID number?
Caller: Sorry, don’t have one. Unlike you, I don’t actually work for the Foundation! I’m just calling you about my dog, Marbs?
Black activates a silent emergency alert, designating the call to be a potential Level-3 security breach.
Black: Okay, hold up, hold up. Before we talk about… ‘Marbs’, how did you get onto this network?
Caller: I got your number from the phone book! It's right between Site-██ and Site-██.
Black receives a directive from Site-19 Security to continue the conversation with the unknown caller and attempt to acquire as much information as possible.
Black: Right, right. So, who are you, really?
Caller: Just Marbs’ parent, of course! And speaking of Marbs, I think she’s registered as number thirty-eight… two-zero in your system?
Black: Yeah yeah, I think I found her. Our file on ‘Marbs’ is kinda scant, so tell me more about her.
Caller: Oh, she’s just the sweetest thing ever! A bit stiff, but what sentient canine statue isn't? But I’m sure she’s warmed up to you all already!
Black: Yeah, totally. Right so, what’s a… ‘sentient canine statue’?
Caller: I’m… not really sure? Statue dogs are just so cool and elegant and- okay, maybe Marbs’s not any of that, but that's what makes her so special! And that's also why I chose Site-19. I heard you guys are really good with sentient statues!
Black: …Okay. Alright, uh… how did ‘Marbs’ get here?
Caller: Wow, you’re really blasting me with the Q and As today, huh? Uh… it’s something to do with [REDACTED], maybe? Oh, I’m so sorry, I-
Black: I haven’t got a clue what you’re on about either. I’m just the… well, guess I got demoted to 'receptionist'.
Caller: Yeah, I get you, I so get you- oh! Oh, I’m so sorry. You said to keep it short and now look at what I’ve done!
Black: What? Oh, nah, nah, nah, I got time now-
Caller: No, that won’t be fair of me. Alright, I just wanna let you guys know that I’m picking up Marbs soon. So, you all better say goodbye to her!
Black: Seriously?
Caller: Oh, sorry, I should also thank you all at Site-19 for taking such good care of Marbs! And don’t worry, I’ve sorted out payment. Hey, it was fun chatting with you today!
The caller disconnects.
Black: …Reckon someone needs to go check on SCP-3820.
One minute after the phone call, SCP-3820 underwent a spontaneous disappearance event. Security footage showed the appearance of a bright, blue flash, similar to the manifestation event, lasting approximately one second before subsiding and revealing the disappearance of the subject. Replacing SCP-3820 is exactly one kilogram of [DATA EXPUNGED]. As of the compilation of this incident log, the Foundation’s potential use of [DATA EXPUNGED] is still being debated among the O5 Council.
