Chinese scientists have unveiled Wing Wen, billed as the worlds first two faced dog.
Wing Wen had a quarter face transplant two years as part of research into human face transplants. Under the surgery, the Beagle received new skin, an ear and eyelids.
Quoted in The Sun, Zhen Shengwu, chief plastic surgeon at the Fujian Provincial Hospital in Fuzhou, is now hoping to attract rich westerners for face change surgery.
Wing is mentally and physically healthy after the surgery which was a great success. Wing Wen recovered quickly and most observers would think the dog was born with a mixed-coloured face. But you can see the difference from the ears.
Wen’s original ear on the right side hangs down, while the new ear on the other side stands up.
At the time if you put your finger close to his left eye, he would blink or close it. That means the nerves on the transplanted face are working well.
It gets better:
To some patients whose faces were greatly damaged because of burning, car accidents, animal attacks or tumours, face-changing surgery can greatly improve their quality of life. So it’s worthwhile to advertise it with examples like this.
Yes, because a patchwork dog inspires true confidence among Western consumers. Side note: the transplant donor didn’t fare so well, and was killed as part of the operation.

I can't believe the Sun in Britain treated this as a light-hearted story today. One beagle died here. Their pay-off was: They should call him PATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sick

Very sick. poor animal had to suffer and be like a Frankenstein. I hope they didnt mutilate the healthy dog just for pure research. There are so many disfigured dogs out there, at least they could have helped one of those. By why such a drastic difference in ears? They couldn't find something more similar?

This is brutality. You can see how sad the dog is.

Wow this guy is sick, so un-humane…HE DID THIS TO A BUNNY TOO! What a sick bastard…. Jeez he does help people but it’s still a wrong way of doing research. I agree with Julia. They better not have slaughtered a poor healthy dog just to alter this poor dog (was he/she even in need of surgery?) for research. I heard they have to skin the face while the subject is still alive(I wonder if they even gave the poor thing anything other than a seditive). SICK!
