Dogor
- ... that Dogor, an 18,000-year-old canine puppy, may represent a common ancestor of the dog and the wolf? "The fact that we can’t might suggest that it’s from a population that was ancestral to both — to dogs and wolves" (New York Post)
- ALT1:... that despite being frozen in permafrost for 18,000 years, the canine puppy Dogor retains his fur, whiskers, nose and teeth? "Scientists in Russia have unearthed the frozen remains of an 18,000-year-old canine" (New York Post) "has been remarkably preserved in the permafrost of the Russian region, with its fur, nose and teeth all intact ... Even the whiskers of the puppy were preserved" (BBC News)

-
- Article is new enough (created 28 November) and long enough (prose at 1,674 characters).
- Article is written in NPOV and has adequate inline citations.
- Earwig indicates no copyvio concerns.
- Each hook had a minor grammatical error that I corrected. I like ALT0 better than ALT1, though both are of adequate length and are properly formatted.
- Both hooks are supported by inline citations in the article.
- QPQ is done.
- Comments not directly related to DYK:
- It looks like the image in the article is missing permission and is likely to be deleted.
- The second sentence of the Description section is almost identical to the second sentence in the lead; I think rewording one or the other (or removing some detail from the one in the lead) would improve the article.
Article is good to go. Armadillopteryxtalk 04:29, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
