The canine genome project has begun. A California couple has spent 3.7 million on cloning their mutt. Meet Missy II: part husky, part collie, with a tail that doesn’t wag…
From the Publisher
Like most dog lovers, Missy’s owners think she’s irreplaceable—and they’re rich enough to do something about it. Rescued from a San Francisco dog pound nearly 13 years ago, Missy is now at the center of an audacious 3.7 million–dollar cloning program paid for by her billionaire owners. James Langton, who has followed the project since its inception, is the only journalist to have taken Missy for a walk and thrown her a stick. In telling her story, he examines the 100,000–year history of canine breeding, going right back to the time when man first befriended dog.
