Paper, 'Account of cutting the kidney of a dog' by Dr King King describes an operation carried out on a dog that could not bark. King explains how he removed and observed the dog's kidney before returning it to the body of the dog. The dog survived the surgery and could bark once again. The dog lived for 20 days after the surgery. Dr Allen dissected the dog and found the kidney had nearly fused. Subject: Veterinary Medicine Read to the Royal Society on 7 January 1669 3 December 1668
