From a Reuters story printed in today’s Globe and Mail:

Can’t bear to let Fido rest in peace? This Korean company will clone him
RNL Bio, a South Korean biotech company is offering dog owners the chance to clone their pet through a service that can cost up to $148,000 (U.S.) for a puppy.
     “These days, dogs are treated like family members. There are many owners who would rather clone a favourite pet than adopt a new one after it dies,” RNL Bio president Ra Jeong-chan said.
