In this video a dog’s head was connected to a blood pipeline that revived it’s brain. The dog head is reacting to the sound,lights, taste,etc.

So what’s exactly happening here from the Dhamma Perspective?

Did the dog got actually revived ? Then what was the role of Gandhabba of the dog?

It is likely that the movements in the “dog’s face” are just nerve impulses. An analogy is a plant turning to sunlight.

• There cannot be any “thoughts” arising because the hadaya vatthu (seat of the mind) is not in the head (at least in humans).

I will also add that the video is likely a reenactment of the actual experiment:

The legitimacy of the film is controversial, with some commentators suggesting it is a recreation of the actual experiments, which were more modest. According to some scientists who claimed to have seen the experiments in the film, the severed dog head only survived for a few minutes when attached to the artificial heart, as opposed to the hours claimed in the film.
