Ok you all just dont know what it is to love somthing SOOOO much and to have to loose it. My dog is like my son I love him more than my own life and if I could pay any amout of money to keep him in my life forever i would pay that. I understand that it might not be the same exact dog but at least he would look and feel and smell the same thats all i can ask for…. If you had a baby and it died would you want it back even if it was a different personality it would still be a part of your baby and thats better then nothing.. everyone is allowed there own point of view this i just mine. I have my dear wedgies blood stored and ready for the day he passes because I will have him cloned. he is six now and i believe in another 10 years I can have him cloned……..

Sure, it looks like the same dog. But even if you could raise it exactly the same way as the first one, it’s not going to be the same dog. The personality could be vastly different. And that’s probably the part of the dog that most people fall in love with!

its not the same dog. just a dog that looks like it. its basically a child with genes from one parent

Agree with ted. So many shelter dogs needing a home, and mutts really do make the best dogs. Better health, usually good temperaments, and grateful to have a home.

Go adopt a dog from a shelter and donate the $ you would have spent on the clone

Why not just accept death? It’s the natural order of the world, all living things must embrace their own mortality. That money could do such more in improving the lives of animals, and people, already alive in this world.

Picture looks like conjoined twins.

I can’t, at the moment, think of a bigger waste of money than to clone a dog for $100K when you could donate that money to your own local shelter.

Nobody’s dead dog is that special.
