Heart of a Dog is Hulki Okan Tabak's smart contract created on Manifold. It is specifically created to create multi edition works efficiently. The genesis project is Sharik. 

Sharik is an experimental homage to the writer Mikhail Bulgaov. In the novella Heart of a Dog, Sharik is the street dog operated on by the Professor.

Heart of a Dog has been interpreted both as a satire on Bolshevism and as a criticism of eugenics. One commonly accepted interpretation is that Bulgakov was trying to show all the inconsistencies of the system in which Sharikov, a man with a dog's intelligence, could become an important part. Sharik is seen as "a reincarnation of the repellent proletarian", and the professor represents a "hyperbolic vision of the bourgeois dream", according to J. A. E. Curtis. (wikipedia)
