The majority of the world's population has not and will not ever publish
a scientific paper. That fact is even more true for pets. Yes, dogs,
cats, hamsters. Pets. Surprisingly, however, \emph{\textbf{there are}}
\textbf{papers with pets as authors}. Here's a selection of three
articles coauthored by our furry friends.

\section*{1. Hamster: Tisha ?~}

{\label{580048}}

Do you have a paper with a Nobel laureate? No? Well\ldots{} Hamster
Tisha does! The pet hamster of the physics Nobel laureate Andrew Geim
was co author on the publication ``Detection of earth rotation with a
diamagnetically levitating gyroscope''~\cite{Geim_2001}. Go Tisha!\selectlanguage{english}

\section*{2. Cat: F.D.C. Willard~?~}

{\label{790131}}

``Here we show'' is a common term used in science papers to describe
work performed. However, in many cases especially a few decades ago
papers were written by sole authors. When Jack H. Hetherington, a
physicists and mathematician, received a review about the use of the
``royal we'' in one of his papers he had two choices: to change the
language from ``we'' to ``I'' or find a coauthor. He chose the latter
and added his cat chester to the paper. F.D.C Willard, the second author
on the paper, ``Two-, Three-, and Four-Atom Exchange Effects in bcc
\(^3\)H''~\cite{Hetherington_1975}~stands for~\emph{Felics
Domestics} Chester Willard, the name of his cat and his cats
father.\emph{~}

Chester later went on to become sole author on a paper
(\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F.D.C._Willard}{read more}).\selectlanguage{english}

\section*{3. Dog:~Galadriel Mirkwood~?~}

{\label{959430}}

Galadriel Mirkwood is an Elf in The Lord of The Rings, it's also the
name of a pet dog, specifically an Afghan hound. In 1978, Polly
Matzinger, an immunologist coauthored a paper with her dog Mirkwood
entitled, ``In a fully H-2 incompatible chimera, T cells of donor origin
can respond to minor histocompatibility antigens in association with
either donor or host H-2 type'' ~\cite{Matzinger_1978}. Matzinger was
banned from publishing at the journal until the editor died and later
became the head of U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious
Diseases (NIAID). During the tenure process her co-authorship with
Mirkwood was again questioned. However, as Mirkwood later recalled her
peers had a sense of humor.

\begin{quote}
``They decided it wasn't really fraud. It was a real dog {[}a frequent
lab visitor{]} and they said it had done no less research than some
other coauthors
had.''-\href{http://www.the-scientist.com/?articles.view/articleNo/14715/title/Scientific-Sins/}{Matzinger}
