The Monument to a Dog In 1935 at the 15th International Physiological Congress Pavlov was named "The Oldest Physiologist of the World". In that year on the initiative of Pavlov a monument to a dog was installed near the department of Physiology, in the garden of the Institute of experimental medicine, to pay a tribute to the dog's unselfish service to biological science. The author, sculptor Bespalov made it a fountain-monument. The main part of it - a dog sitting on a pedestal, decorated with 8 high-relief dog heads with small tubes in the jaws, from which the water runs. The basement is decorated with 4 large bas-relief pictures of laboratory's life and scripted citations from Pavlov, explaining the scenes with dogs. This monument is a part of museum excursion around the department.
