how did tom brady clone his dog

Tom Brady has publicly stated that his dog Junie is a clone of Lua, the family’s late dog who died in 2023. The cloning was carried out by a biotech company in which Brady has invested, using a blood sample that had been preserved from Lua before she passed away. The announcement also coincided with news that the company acquired Viagen Pets and Equine, a major player in animal cloning. Brady described the process as non-invasive and framed Junie as a way for his family to have a “second chance” with a genetic copy of their beloved pet. For context, Lua had been a longtime companion to Brady, his ex- wife, and their children, and the family had publicly mourned Lua’s passing before welcoming Junie.
