Is this for real? The wife thinks it's bogus. Didn't they do something similar with a monkey?

Come to think of it, didn't Tim Burton do the same to Pierce Brosnan?

How awful if it's real. Quick, someone submit it to cuteoverload.com. Let's see if we can make those guys cry. ;-)

that's messed up, seriously. I don't buy it. Wouldn't the severed muscles in the neck prevent it from moving it's head that way?

WHOA! That's very interesting. I think it's possible for the head to twitch the way it did because they don't show us exactly how much neck is left. Still, though, why wouldn't they show the back of the neck?

Horrible. Death is not just an absence of life, but an absence of any quality of life.

No problem.. first, leave all fur on dog to make surgery clean and easy. Second, cut dogs head off, then, wash dog head thoroughly to remove all blood.

I wonder if it's studies like this that spawned the first premonitions of future generations with technology to keep people alive in head-only fashion. (E.g., Futurama episodes where today's celebrities live in glass jars of the future.)

If that's real, it's one of the cruelest things I've ever seen.

It seems like it's probably true, though this footage may be a re-enactment. :
"However, while the film could have been re-staged for the camera, it almost certainly depicts a series of real experiments. Bryukhonenko's work with canine circulation seems obscure today, but at the time was well publicized; his decapitation experiment even remarked upon by George Bernard Shaw.[1] Bryukhonenko's procedures are attested to in numerous books and medical papers, with some sources providing detailed technical information on the operations shown in the film. These texts also shed light on failures not mentioned in the film. For example, the severed heads survived only minutes in artificial circulation, while the resuscitated dogs often died after a few days.
Perhaps most importantly, Bryukhonenko's research was vital to the development of open-heart procedures in Russia. He was one of the leaders of the Research Institute of Experimental Surgery, where Professor A.A. Vishnevsky performed the first Soviet open-heart operation in 1957. Bryukhonenko developed a new version of the autojektor (for use on humans) in the same year; it can be seen today on display at the Museum of Cardiovascular Surgery at the Scientific Center of Cardiovascular Surgery in Russia. Bryukhonenko was awarded the prestigious Lenin Prize posthumously."
(wikipedia - though, especially in cases such as this, wikipedia warrants fact-confirmation; everthing else I've seen online points to this being true - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experiments_in_the_Revival_of_Organisms)
