Dead Pet Dog to be Cloned

A company called RNL Bio plans to clone the pit bull using tissue taken from its ear before it died. A California woman will pay $150,000 for what’s being billed as the first order for pet dog cloning, the BBC reports.

The cloning will be done at Seoul National University, where the first cloned dog, Snuppy, was created in 2005.

Booger’s owner, Bernann McKunney, “is said to have been particularly attached to the dog, after it saved her life when another dog attacked her and bit off her arm,” according to the BBC report.

Rovers all over, meanwhile, are getting stem cell therapy, another thing we’re skittish about applying to humans.
