Barbra Cloned Her Dog — Twice!
Barbra Streisand has revealed she successfully made two clones of her pet dog after it died last year. The singer and actor told the Hollywood trade publication Variety that cells were taken from the mouth and stomach of her 14-year-old Coton de Tulear dog, Samantha. (PETA disapproves of the practice.) “They have different personalities,†Streisand said of the puppies, called Miss Scarlett and Miss Violet. “I’m waiting for them to get older so I can see if they have her brown eyes and her seriousness.†In the interview, Streisand said when the cloned dogs arrived, she dressed them in red and lavender to tell them apart, which is how they got their names.
