"So who's the two-legged guinea pig," a voice came from the door of the lab. In walked Dr. Victoria Lansing, one of the project veterinarians who worked almost exclusively with Bob and Hailey. It was her job to keep to keep the animals healthy, and salvage what she could of the ones who were victims of unsuccessful tests. Needless to say, she wasn't fond of the scientists or their project.
