"The 48-year-old, seven-time Super Bowl champ said he worked with Colossal to leverage their non-invasive cloning technology through a simple blood draw prior to elderly Lua's passing. In a few short months, Colossal gave my family a second chance with a clone of our beloved dog, Brady continued. I am excited how Colossal and Viagen's tech together can help both families losing their beloved pets while helping to save endangered species."
"Brady is an investor in the company, which also announced on Tuesday its acquisition of Viagen Pets & Equine the world's leading animal cloning firm, known for creating doubles of Paris Hilton's dog Diamond and Barbra Streisand's pup Samantha. Scientists at Colossal, which describes itself as the world's de-extinction company, announced in April that it had successfully restored the dire wolf a species of wolf that died out some 12,500 years ago through its cloning and gene-editing technology."

Brady said the clone gave his family a second chance and highlighted potential to help pet owners and support endangered species efforts.
