UK's 1st cloned dog is... a Dachshund

I saw that on FB. Cloning because you want your animal to never leave is just plain stupid. They may be genetically and physically identical, but the personalities aren't. As if we don't have enough dogs looking for homes out there . A dachsie owner should know better!

My thoughts exactly!

Disturbing, isn't it? But then it also bothers me when people get a new dog and give it the same name as one they lost . I agree that much of a dog's personality - and how it relates to its humans - is shaped by its interactions and experiences.

What happens to the poor cloned dog when it doesn't act exactly like its predecessor? Will they ignore it or reject it? I feel so bad.

I wonder about that, too.
