I remember reading some years ago about experiments done in the Soviet
Union in which dogs managed to live in a highly oxygenated pool of
water.  (Sorry, I don't remember the source -- it may not be a reputable
one.  Unfortunately, research behind the Iron Curtain tends to be
published in sensationalistic publications -- no reflection on the
Soviets or their scientists -- it's just the "exoticness" of it
all that provokes National Enquirer to tell you about it.)
