A company has cloned a family pet and delivered it to the family who's dog died sometime last year. The clone is a puppy with the same DNA as the dog they had that died. While movies like to pretend that it's possible to transfer memories through cloning, the fact is that this dog is only similar genetically.

However, there's quite a bit of behavior and attitude that comes with us due to genes and it will be interesting to see how similar this dog is to his predecessor. In the future if we really loved a particular pet, instead of trying something new, we can just make Fluffy 2.0? This should get interesting.
