"I love my animals. They mean the world to me and my family, the former NFL star said. 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. The company gave my family a second chance with a clone of our beloved dog, Brady continued, adding that he is excited how Colossal and Viagen's tech together can help both families losing their beloved pets while helping to save endangered species."
"Brady's late pet Lua was cloned using blood collected prior to her death in 2023, the Colossal investor said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE."
"As noted by People, the biotech company Viagen — which was acquired by Colossal — has cloned celebrity pets in the past. Previous clientele includes Barbara Streisand and Paris Hilton."
Tom Brady cloned his late dog Lua, producing Junie using Colossal Biosciences' non-invasive cloning technology based on a blood sample taken before Lua's death in 2023. The cloning was conducted in collaboration with Colossal and Viagen, using a simple blood draw that avoided invasive procedures. The cloned dog provided Brady's family with a second chance to have a pet with Lua's appearance and characteristics. Brady emphasized his love for his animals and expressed optimism that the combined Colossal and Viagen technology can assist families facing pet loss and contribute to efforts to help save endangered species. Viagen previously cloned celebrity pets for clients including Barbara Streisand and Paris Hilton.
