by The Star-Ledger Continuous News Desk Tuesday July 01, 2008, 5:44 AM
A German shepherd named Trakr, a hero of Ground Zero, will be replicated as a detection dog in a cloning experiment announced Monday, according to a report in the New York Daily News.
Trakr and his master, a retired Canadian police officer named James Symington, were among the first search-and-rescue teams to arrive at Ground Zero and the pair helped locate the last human survivor of 9/11 under some 30 feet of unstable debris. BioArts International said it will transport a sample of Trakr's DNA to the South Korean lab of its partner, Sooam Biotech Research Foundation, which is described as the world's foremost expert in canine cloning.
