Snuppy the Afghan Hound, the world's first dog cloned from adult cells by somatic nuclear cell transfer, is pictured during a photo call at Seoul National University's College of Veterinary Medicine, March 12, 2008. A South Korean biotech company is offering dog owners the chance to clone their pet through a service that can cost up to $148,000 for a puppy. RNL Bio, affiliated with the South Korean lab that produced the world's first cloned canine, expects to deliver its first cloned dog in about a year to a U.S. woman in her 50s who saved biological material from her beloved pit bull that recently died.
