$155,000 paid for clone of family dog
We are all upset when a pet passes away and we all wish we didn’t have to be parted, but one family took it a step further.
The Otto family from Florida were distraught when their family labrador, Sir Lancelot, passed away and they had his DNA frozen.
Nina Otto said:
“The only sad thing about dogs is that they have such a short life, wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could live your life with the same dog.”
In July, they decided to bid on a biotech company’s auction to have a clone of their dog made. Just one week ago, the family waited impatiently at Miami International Airport and were delighted to see their new three month old labrador puppy, Lancelot Encore, step off the plane from Korea.
The replica of Sir Lancelot Senior did not come cheap and his $155,000 price tag was raised by the Otto family by selling several pieces of expensive jewellery.
The family also have nine other dogs, ten cats, four birds and six sheep – let’s hope they don’t want to get them all cloned!
