I guess I'm a little shocked to say the least about this Clone dog. I went to the sight and read the whole thing and was also
embarrassed to realize that it was a golden Retriever that was used to grow it. It looks like the Afghan breed. But doesn't seem right to me.
And what else bothers me is the fact they are going to use them for research. That really makes me SAD.

Well I always am surprised what they are doing now of days.
Been really busy working so have not a chance to get into this area and
am so surprised. But then, I guess if I would be here everyday it wouldn't be such of a surprise. But I am not in favor of DOG RESEARCH Lab experiments. It makes me sick. But thats just me.....I love the dogs and hate to think of them being used this way.
