Actually, that poor dog in question, though I'm not sure which one you're talking about.... the dog that they got the DNA from is a well loved Afghan Hound...

The puppy is IMPRESSIVE. And it's not like he's being treated like a specimen in a lab.

"Contrast to Tai’s gentleness character, SNUppy is very active dog with really spoiled manner. He is always so bright and burning with curiosity.

Tai is finicky eater but SNUppy loves all kind of foods." - from a yahoo Affie list, directly from the owner of both Tai and SNUppy.

This dog was not cloned for pleasure. It wasn't, "Oh, dear, I won't be able to deal with Fido's death. I'll get an exact carbon copy." Because, as we all know, a clone will carry the PERSONALITY of whoever it got the DNA from. NOT.

This dog was cloned for research. To further our knowledge and perhaps make it so we can clone human stem cells. And what a great day it will be when scientists will be able to do research without ignorant people trying to prevent them from saving lives.
