HUMBLE, TX (CBS) - A Humble, Texas couple plans to clone dying dog and a South Korean company is charging them $150,000 to clone her beloved pet.
Sybil Hooper and Fisher, her faithful canine companion of the past dozen years, may not move with the ease they once enjoyed. But Fisher is slowing down faster because he has incurable cancer.
?I try not to cry in front of him, it upsets him so bad,? said Hooper.
In a matter of days, Hooper says she?ll have to put Fisher down.
?Euthanasia is the only thing we can do to save him from terrible pain, but we?re going to try to save his cells and, maybe one day, have those cloned and have some more Fishers in our family,? Hooper said.
Before he dies, Sybil Hooper and her husband Collins will have tissue samples taken from Fisher. They plan to ship the samples to a South Korean company that specializes in pet cloning.
