A scientist who was famous for his theory, transplanting two-headed dog. In 1954, Soviet surgeon was revealed to the world his greatest work.
He transplanted puppy heads on the neck of a mature German shepherd dog. The second head did not need food, because the milk flew down the neck of the esophagus connection. Both animals eventually died quickly because of tissue rejection. But it did not stop him from creating for almost 20 two-headed dogs, 15 years later. Source: Kapanlagi
