The Texas Company Behind Tom Brady’s Cloned Dog

(KNUE-FM) While I feel safe here in Texas, it is a crazy world we are living in right now. Things that we have always known to be true are now changing. That was evident earlier this week when former NFL Superstar Tom Brady was talking about his dog being a clone. Well, the company behind doing that cloning is from here in the Lone Star State.

As a big fan of animals, I love the idea of cloning pets. I have an older dog now that I would love to have with me for the rest of my life. Although, I know that I don’t have the same bank account as Tom Brady to make that happen. But it’s still exciting to hear about this new pet cloning technology.
