Dog owners get a second chance in 'I Cloned My Pet'

Saying goodbye to a beloved furry friend isn't easy, but some former dog owners hope to ease the pain by saying hello to their friend again -- sort of.

In a new, one-hour special called "I Cloned My Pet," TLC takes a closer look at those willing to take a pricy plunge for a second chance with their long-lost pal, or more accurately, a first chance with a dog that looks and acts like their late pal.

A sneak peek from the show gives viewers an early look at Danielle, who's love of her dearly departed dog, Trouble, has led her to look into cloning.

"I usually come in this room and I say, 'Hi Trouble! Hi, Trouble boy. How are you?'" she said as she walked up to a full-wall mural of her pet. "He came first before anybody. He came first before my husband. He came first before my parents. Nobody else matters. He was like the child that I never had, and I probably did treat him better than people treat their children."

Trouble died three years ago, but no one would guess that by looking around Danielle's home. She's kept everything he touched. Everything.

"I have a piece of chicken that I've had in here for three years," she said as she pulled Trouble's foil-covered last supper out of the freezer. "Trouble was hand-fed, like a child. Yeah, like a mother would breastfeed their child or hand feed their child -- that was Trouble."

Since my dog was 18 months old when I adopted her from a shelter there's no way a clone of her would act and behave the same way.

We had a DNA test done of her. One one side of her lineage she is about 7 different types of terriers. On the other she is small percentage each of weinmariner and chitzu, and a whole bunch of just plain mutt.
