THE owner of Britain's first cloned dog says the cost is the only thing stopping her from doing it again.
Rebecca Bourne's sausage dog, Winnie, was cloned by a South Korean genetics firm in 2014 after she won a TV competition.
The process, which cost £60,000, resulted in the birth of "Mini Winnie", who is now a grandmother herself.
Rebecca, 40, has even written a children's book about her pets.
And she says: "If I could afford it, I would definitely do it again." The original Winnie died aged 17 when she was hit by a car in 2019, and Rebecca says Mini Winnie brought her a lot of comfort after an "awful day".
