In no particular order meet Trustt, Solace, Prodigy, Valor, and Dejavu. How cute (and sleepy) they are! This unconventional new puppy alert features five German Shepherd dogs recently cloned in South Korea and making a press debut yesterday in LA.

If you've forgotten, Trakr was a hero dog working after the 2001 terror strikes on the World Trade Center and we first learned of his most "clone-worthy" status and future procedure last Summer. Even if you wouldn't pay to clone your own pet, I can't see anything wrong with adding five future heroes to the world, can you?

The Scoop: Trade Center Hero, Trakr, to Be Cloned

Meet Trakr, the heroic pup who helped locate the last human survivor under about 30 feet of debris after the September 11 attacks. The German Shepherd (and his owner) were among the first search and rescue teams to arrive at Ground Zero, and I'm betting that's why he was deemed the most 'clone-worthy' canine by BioArts International in their competition offering someone a free chance to replicate their pet; a sample of Trakr's DNA will be transported to the South Korean lab of the Sooam Biotech Research Foundation, and the cloned dog could be ready later this year!
