Snuppy, the world’s first cloned dog, was born.

The puppy was created using a cell from an ear from an adult Afghan hound and involved 123 surrogate mothers, of which only two produced pups. His name is created with combination of ‘SNU’ (Seoul National University) and ‘puppy’. The cloning research was led by Woo Suk Hwang at Seoul National University in South Korea.
