Maybe I Should Get One of These
Cloned dog's first birthday
Seoul, South Korea - The world's first cloned dog created by South Korean scientist Hwang Woo-suk celebrated its first birthday on Monday.
Snuppy, short for Seoul National University puppy, had its "birthday party" at the university's animal hospital with an Afghan hound, whose cells were used for cloning, a Labrador surrogate mother and some 20 professors and researchers.
The university prepared a large pyramid-shaped cake for Snuppy, who wore a blue birthday hat during the celebration.
The researcher who took care of the dog gave him a necklace with a pendant that has the dog's name and a lab telephone number as a gift.
Seoul university scientists now plan to clone a female dog and see whether she and Snuppy, who is male, can reproduce.
