TechnologyNext Best Thing? Clone of Man's Best FriendNext Best Thing? Clone of Man's Best FriendThe Associated PressAn American woman received five puppies Tuesday that were cloned from her beloved late pitbull. The puppies were born to two surrogate mothers in South Korea. (Aug. 5)NATS UP How much is that cloned puppy in the window? This American woman just got five puppies that were cloned from her beloved late pit bull. A South Korean biotech firm claims this is the world's first commercial dog cloning service.NATS UP Bernann McKinney received the dogs Tuesday, about five months after she requested that the company recreate her dead pet. McKinney's dog died of cancer two years ago. And she wanted a clone because she was especially attached to the dog. McKinney said the dog saved her life when she was attacked by another dog three times his size. Following the incident, her left hand was amputated and her leg nerves and stomach were injured. Doctors later reconstructed her hand and she spent part of her recovery in a wheelchair. She said during that time her canine was more than just a companion. McKinney says the dog pulled her wheelchair when its battery ran out and helped her open the house door with his teeth even though the dog was never trained to do so. She says she'll take three of the cloned dogs home and will donate the others to work as service dogs for the handicapped or elderly. Pet cloning is expensive. The South Korean company is charging between 50 to 150-thousand dollars for copies of pets. ___ ___, The Associated Press.
