It all began with a pit bull named Booger. Former beauty queen Bernann McKinney was so distraught over the death of her dog, whom she regarded as her guardian and savior, that she paid $50,000 to RNL Bio for the chance to bring her beloved companion back to life. The result was five new Boogers.the first successful commercial cloning of a canine.delivered in 2008, along with a slew of compelling questions about the boundaries of science, commerce, and ethics.
