See the link below about Trakr, the GSD who indicated a trapped woman who was pulled from the wreckage of the towers on 9/11.

I generally get a queasy feeling when cloning is mentioned, but watching that was just wonderful! Did I hear right, Trakr lived to the ripe old age of 16? It will be very interesting to know how these pups longevity fares. They looked marvelous to me.

Yes, they looked good, except most had very weak ears. I do think he lived a long life. However, cloning will not make them as he was. Each will be individual because of their different experiences. A clone does not make an exact replica, except genetically, but that is not the entire story for any organism.
