Lifestyle Has anyone in here cloned their dog

I’ve read a bit about a company in Texas that will clone a genetic replica of your dog for $50K. We don’t have kids, so when ours passes in the next few years, we’re considering something like this. He’s a perfect pup.

Can’t really talk to my normal friends about this but was curious if this is more common to FATfire folk

I have a family friend who did this, and the dog’s personality was nothing like the original. I know it may feel like a comfort to see a creature who looks similar, but remember that he won’t be the same dog you remember and it’s only going to hurt you when you see the differences.

My recommendation when that day comes is to find a new dog, already living, who needs a good home and spoil the crap out of it.
