Paulette Szadaly was a research veterinarian at U of M in Ann Arbor, along with her husband George, in the early ‘60s and beyond. She did medical experiments and research with dogs. One dog in particular, who was named Norman received a lung transplant from another dog in the name of research for Michigan tuberculosis and respiratory disease association. I don’t think either of them worked at MSU
