It ’s hard to find dog that have just the right lot of attribute to sniff for drugs , which is why South Korean Customs functionary fix their favorite drug - sniffle dog cloned . The seven clones ( four are pictured here ) have all grown up to be excellent sniffers — though only one in ten frank commonly lapse drug - sniff training , all seven passed . All seven dogs are call Toppy , and each be over $ 100,000 to ringer , plus $ 40,000 extra to train . Over at Technovelgy , Bill Christensen points out that the cloned drug - sniffers have a case law in a skill fiction whose representation of cloning was so inaccurate that you ’ll be surprised it got anything veracious .
Christensen write :
scientific discipline fiction lover might take this to be a commercial-grade business consumption of the RePet technology used in the picture The Sixth Clarence Day . The cloning research and work was done by a squad of Seoul National University scientists pass by Professor Lee Byeong - chun . Now , if only they could control syncording , which is the fictional technology in The Sixth Day that assured that your unexampled RePet was behaviorally identical to your old pet , they would n’t even take to train them !
It actually voice like the Toppys ( Toppies ? ) do have the same disposition as the dog they were clone from , since they were all capable to elapse the same education he did .
Given the black-market market in imitation pharmaceuticals , it might also be useful to have a cad that could sniff out cloned drug , too . Imagine a dog that could recount the difference between Pfizer ’s Viagra , and Bob ’s dim market V1agr@.
