The cryopreserving solution is toxic, more, it don't carry oxygen. In the dog case, the cold saved him. Something along this was done many years ago with a chloro-fluorocarbon mix. There was survival because the product can carry a lot of oxygen, is not toxic and has a low viscosity. The real problem yet is not here, it is with a technology able to repair the freezing molecular scale destruction. I would say the first step would be to have a scanning system able to map a body at that scale. Sadly, no cryonics organization want to do such research, even if it cost nothing.
