Apparently it's become so commonplace among pets that my dog's veterinary insurance policy specifically has an exclusion saying that our pet insurance does not cover cloning. I just googled "Dog Cloning" and there were a bunch of results offering the service.

Oh wow that really is a thing!

Why be sad for your dog’s death when you can just clone him.

I loved my chosen. How then could I accept the day she died? So I took from her body a single cell - perhaps to love her again.
