wonder what it'd look like.

That's pretty cool. I wonder why they are calling it a "puppy" rather than a "dog". I read through the whole thing to see if they were using some means of measuring the age. The teeth appear to be well grown. I wonder if they are saying puppy just because of the size?

I'm not real big on the whole cloning idea, but the fact that they have this little body so well preserved is just fascinating.

Some breeds should be driven into extinction

can we say the p word?
