Dog cloned in South Korea

The first duplicate pooch ambles on to the world stage today. His birth was a feat of ingenuity and perseverance, but some scientists question the value of the exercise.
The Afghan hound puppy has been hidden from the world at the Seoul National University in South Korea for the nine weeks since his birth from a yellow Labrador retriever. He bears exactly the same DNA as an older hound who lent a few ear cells to the researchers.
He's also quite a survivor, being the only one of 1,095 cloned embryos implanted in 123 dogs to survive to healthy puppyhood.
Since Dolly the cloned sheep made her appearance nearly a decade ago, the field has not advanced as much as was expected at first.
