US EditionTom Brady Said New Dog Is Clone of Late Pet
Tom Brady used Colossal Biosciences' noninvasive cloning technology to clone his late dog Lua, marking a high-profile example of pet cloning as Colossal acquires Viagen Pets and Equine.
- On Tuesday, November 4, 2025, Tom Brady revealed Junie is a clone of his late pit bull mix Lua, with help from Colossal Biosciences, a biotech company he invests in.
- Colossal Biosciences, founded in Dallas in 2021 by Ben Lamm, acquired Viagen Pets and Equine, founded in Austin in 2002, which has cloned 15 species; this acquisition is Colossal's first major.
- The process involved reconstructing the donor cell and implanting it into a surrogate, and Brady said Junie shares Lua's same coloring and markings after a simple blood draw.
- Speaking for his family, Brady said `I love my animals` and that the work gave his family a second chance while aiding grieving families and endangered species.
- Experts note cloning creates a genetic twin but not the original pet’s personality, while Colossal Biosciences, known for its claimed dire wolf project, is reportedly valued at $10 billion.
