\u201cA few years ago, I worked with Colossal and leveraged their non-invasive cloning technology through a simple blood draw of our family\u2019s elderly dog before she passed.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added that working with Colossal \u201cgave my family a second chance with a clone of our beloved dog\u201d.<\/p>\n
Viagen, the company Colossal has acquired, has previously cloned other celebrity pets, including Barbra Streisand\u2019s dog Samantha and Paris Hilton\u2019s dog Diamond Baby.<\/p>\n
The two companies now reportedly plan to combine their technologies in a bid to expand cloning services for pet owners as well as conservation and de-extinction efforts.<\/p>\n
Brady said he is \u201cexcited how Colossal and Viagen\u2019s tech together can help both families losing their beloved pets while helping to save endangered species\u201d.<\/p>\n
Brady and his ex-wife, Brazilian supermodel Gisele B\u00fcndchen, announced the death of their pet dog Lua in December 2023 with an emotional social media post.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur little Lulu, our guardian angel is gone to heaven. She will forever live in our hearts. We already miss her sooooo much!#unconditionallove RIPLua,\u201d B\u00fcndchen wrote on Instagram at the time.<\/p>\n
