Dog who helped during 9/11 has been cloned
Scientists in California say they have cloned a dog that helped with search-and-rescue in New York after 9/11.
Five German shepherd puppies cloned from a dog named Trakr have been delivered to owner James Symington, a former police officer in Halifax, Nova Scotia, who now lives in Los Angeles.
Before Trakr died in April at age 16, Symington entered a contest sponsored by the California company BioArts International that offered to clone a pet dog for free.
Lad and lasso meet up as boy in well rescued

Nations came from a nearby ranch and used a rope lariat to pull Jonathan to safety.
