Double Dog ...

More than just friends
Originally uploaded by Nina Pope.

As mentioned above Riga and in fact Latvia seems to be rich in the most fantastic array of small and eccentric museums. None less so than Stradins Museum of Medical History ... I knew the 'double dog' was in there so I have to admit to speed-skimming the first 3 floors of exhaustive medical displays to get to these boys ... who seem to be just a pair of friends from the front but then reveal their rather horrible literally joint internal secret from the side. To compliment this exhibit (?) you can also see what I assumed was the gear they kept the little fella alive with before they stitched him on and 'Space Dog Veterok's cabin'.
