Meet Snuppy - the world’s first cloned dog

AN AFGHAN hound called Snuppy was named yesterday as the first dog to be cloned by scientists.

The hairy pup has the same floppy ears as his genetic father, which is not surprising, as it was an ear that provided the skin cell from which he was made.

Scientists in South Korea, which leads the world in cloning, took genetic material from the cell and placed it in an empty egg.
