This makes me kind of sad.
I mean, I love my dog. I've loved all my furry companions., (get yer mind outta the gutter.) But a cloned version of them won't be *them* - it would be a hollow version of them.
As a dog owner, when I accepted his paperwork, I accepted the fact that I will outlive my companion. That I will love him, and some day, make the kindest decision of all, and let him go to to the celestial pack. Eventually, other furry personalities will come into my life - not replacements, just... different.


I'm sure that man loves his dog. Just as I'm sure all the dog handlers in Iraq, and before that, Vietnam, and before that, WWII - hell, let's go all the way back to the Romans and their dog handlers. I'm sure they all, to some degree, loved and respected their charges.

There are SO MANY perfectly trainable dogs, purebred dogs, out there looking for a home, looking for work. All you have to do is go to www.gsrne.org and look for yourself. Why go to the extraordinary lengths to clone one, when there's so many who already need our help?


*sigh*
