The
famous photograph of Frederick
Banting and Charles Best, photographed with ‘Majorie’. It is usually claimed
that Majorie was diabetic and saved by Banting and Best through insulin
injections. In reality, “dog 33”--as they refered to her--only became
diabetic when Banting and Best removed her pancreas. Despite having survived
the procedure, Banting and Best would shortly after ‘sacrifice’ her.
