“The first heart transplant in a human ever performed was by Hardy in 1964, using a chimpanzee heart, but the patient died within 2 hours. Starzl carried out the first chimpanzee-to-human liver transplantation in 1966; in 1992, he obtained patient survival for 70 days following a baboon liver transplant. With the advent of genetic engineering and cloning technologies, pigs are currently available with a number of different manipulations that protect their tissues from the human immune response, resulting in increasing pig graft survival in nonhuman primate models. Genetically modified pigs offer hope of a limitless supply of organs and cells for those in need of a transplant.”
Years ago there was a Gilberts Shoe Store " in Columbus Ohio. My dad bought me a pair and I wore them when we left the store. It started to sprinkle a little. The shoes got wet and the dye started running off the shoes. .
There was another animal to human transplant about 1955, when I was in the 5th grade. I think this one was in Russia, and they used a dog’s heart to keep a body alive while they repaired the human heart.

Dr. Hardy actually has two distinctions: he also performed the LAST animal-to-human heart transplant.

Actually it was the first pairs of shoes sold in boxes. I’m pretty sure people always bought shoes in pairs.
