The author shares her profound connection with Lucas, her Boston terrier, who served as her emotional support during tough times. After Lucas was diagnosed with lymphoma, she explored various options for treatment, including a clone for compatibility reasons. However, when time ran out, she made the heart-wrenching decision to clone him to keep his spirit alive. Despite the costly process, she felt compelled to proceed, reflecting her intense love and commitment to their unbreakable bond. Ultimately, the clone demonstrated an astonishing resemblance to Lucas, both physically and in temperament.
I couldn't bear for us to be apart. When I was hospitalised with hepatitis... I persuaded the nursing staff to let him stay by my side.
Cloning felt like a life raft: Lucas's body might have died, but perhaps his spirit hadn't gone.
It was devastating; I was frantic, determined to find a solution. We looked into a bone marrow transplant... but that needed a compatible donor.
The resemblance was astonishing, not just in appearance but in personality and behaviour.
