I had a buddy who had been all broken up in a motorcycle wreck. To help
heal someone had given him a brindle colored pit bull that he named
Clyde. That dog was the most gently animal I have ever seen, and really
liked people. My friend had somehow taught Clyde how to smile. Now that
is a good trick with a dog, but to appreciate it  you had to understand
Clyde and my friend. When Clyde smiled, there was no noise, no growl,
just this huge head with this huge mouth with all its lips pulled back
with all these huge teeth showing.......but not a sound... and this big
tail wagging so hard you would think it was going to break off. When
Clyde was angry there was a serious growl and the teeth would show. But
there was a difference.

Clyde loved to sleep on the back seat of my friends car or on the back
floorboard. One day my buddy went to the car wash, Clyde was asleep on
the back seat, and an attendant, who also knew my fried, and knowing how
cripples he was, told him he would drive the vehincle in for the wash
and for my friend to go relax, have a cool on on him. The attendant, not
seeing Clyde nor knowing him at all,  jumped into the seat, where-upon
Clyded, roused, and being all friendly like, raised up and  with his
biggest, best and most friendly and toothy grin, laid his big massive
head on the seat back right by the new driver's head. Well, the driver,
turning his head and seeing all those teeth practically in his face,
nearly tore the door off the car getting out. Clyde non-chalantly just
hopped over the seat, and out the door, rambling over to my friend while
everyone laughed themselves silly over the episode. Eventually the
attendant thought it funny too, and was friends with Clyde...... But it
did take about three beers!!!!

Yep! Biologics can work.
