I first read about Tom Brady cloning his dog back in November, but recently I saw a clip from an interview he did on Entertainment Tonight. Like many of us, I wondered whether I would have cloned any of my dogs if I had been able to.
In those first weeks after Jackson had passed away, if you had asked me if I wanted to clone him, to have “another” one of him, I might have said yes.
After watching him die in the backseat of my husband’s truck, as we raced to try to make it to the emergency vet to help him over the Rainbow Bridge, if you asked me if I wanted another decade with him, I would have perhaps taken any opportunity to do so, to do it all over again, from puppyhood to senior years.
But it wouldn’t be Jax, identical DNA or not.
The truth is, Jax was a once-in-a-lifetime dog.
Tink was a once-in-a-lifetime dog.
Quill is a once-in-a-lifetime dog.
That’s the thing people forget: “once in a lifetime” doesn’t mean you only get a great dog only once in your life. It means you only get THAT dog once. It means each dog is their own miracle. You only get that specific dog once, but you can have an incredible dog with each and every dog who you bring into your home.
