"Tom Brady just revealed the double-dog dare to rule them all. If the former NFL quarterback's dog Junie looks familiar, that's because she's a clone of Lua, his beloved pooch who died in December 2023. Brady partnered with Colossal Biosciences, a biotech company that Brady is an investor in, to clone Lua using a blood sample collected before her death, People reported."
""Colossal is thrilled to welcome Viagen, the world's leading cloning company, into our portfolio," Ben Lamm, founder and CEO of Colossal, said in the statement. "No other company comes close to what Viagen has achieved. Their unmatched expertise and cloning technology stack have become the world's standard and their application of these critical and proprietary technologies to endangered species conservation makes them an invaluable partner in advancing our global de-extinction and species preservation mission.""
Tom Brady cloned his late dog Lua by partnering with Colossal Biosciences and using a blood sample collected before Lua's death. The resulting dog, Junie, shares Lua's coloring and markings and resembles Lua closely. Colossal described the cloning approach as non-invasive and presented the clone as a second chance for Brady's family. Colossal launched in 2021 and previously claimed to have genetically engineered wolves resembling extinct dire wolves. The company acquired Viagen, a leading animal cloning firm founded in 2002 that has cloned multiple species, including dogs, cats, horses, the black-footed ferret, and Przewalski's horse.
