Titled: Cloned dog celebrates first birthday in S.Korea
The world's first and only cloned dog celebrated its first birthday on Monday, as the leader of the South Korean team that produced the Afghan hound faced a criminal investigation for possible fraud and ethics violations.
The team led by scientist Hwang Woo-suk unveiled the dog named Snuppy last August amid global fanfare. Time magazine named Snuppy one of the most amazing inventions for 2005.
The birthday celebrations at the university where Hwang once ran his lab were subdued. Snuppy, short for Seoul National University puppy, is in good health and weighs about 64 lbs, university officials said.
For his birthday, Snuppy enjoyed two of his favorite foods; ice cream and sausages.
How about that - a story from Korea of a dog actually being fed, not eaten.
Happy Birthday Snuppy.
