Tom Brady clearly loved his dog, Lua, who passed away in 2023. How much did he love Lua? To such an extent that he collected her blood to turn his new dog, Junie, into a clone of her.

He’s basically Dr. John Hammond from Jurassic Park.

Indeed, the football legend recently revealed that Junie is a genetic clone of his late pit bull mix, Lua, a beloved family pet shared with his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, and their children.

The cloning process utilized a simple blood sample collected from Lua before her death. Brady made the startling announcement in collaboration with Colossal Biosciences, a Dallas-based biotech firm founded in 2021.

“I love my animals. They mean the world to me and my family,” he explained. “A few years ago, I worked with Colossal and leveraged their non-invasive cloning technology through a simple blood draw of our family’s elderly dog before she passed.”

Tom Brady cloned his dog

Colossal recently acquired Viagen Pets and Equine, a company known for cloning celebrity pets. And while everybody’s pets mean the world to them, just like Brady, not everyone is willing to make a carbon copy once they die.

Brady, a three-time NFL MVP and investor in Colossal, praised the company for giving his family “a second chance with a clone of our beloved dog.”

Not all fans were convinced that Brady cloning his dog was … cool.

“Tom Brady cloned his dog as she was about to die. This is very weird,” one person on X wrote. “It also opens up the conversation that if this company is cloning dogs, they’re cloning humans as well.”

“Tom Brady cloned his previous dog instead of saving a dog. That’s just wrong on so many levels,” another chimed in.

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy wasn’t on board in the least.

“I’m a dog guy and a Brady guy,” he said. “This is weird as f—.”

Time to clone Brady?

While the prevailing opinion is that Tom Brady cloning his dog is “weird,” there are surely some general managers in the league calling up Colossal as we speak and asking if they can actually clone … him.

Or maybe Rob Gronkowski. Anything to give their team an edge.

Aside from using his current dog as a flesh vessel for the harvested blood of his previous pet, the seven-time Super Bowl champion believes the cloning technology can have broader applications.

“Excited how Colossal and Viagen’s tech together can help both families losing their beloved pets while helping to save endangered species,” he declared.
