Britain clones its first dog
A dog has been cloned for the first time.
''I saw it being born and it looks exactly like Winnie. It is identical.''
Winnie, a 12-year-old dachshund, was reproduced as a puppy after her owner Rebecca Smith, from west London, won a £60,000 contest to clone a pet.
Cloning company Sooam Biotech - who ran the competition - took a sample of Winnie's skin to their laboratory in Seoul, South Korea where they successfully reproduced a 'Mini-Winnie' replica of Ms Smith's precious pooch.
The 29-year-old will appear on Channel 4 documentary 'The £60,000 Puppy: Cloning Man's Best Friend'.
She said: ''I saw it being born and it looks exactly like Winnie. It is identical.''
