Nina Otto and her husband share their 12-acre property in Boca Raton with 9 dogs, 4 birds, 10 cats, and 6 sheep. But one dog was so special to them that they had him cloned.
Six years ago, the Ottos froze DNA for Lancelot, a yellow Labrador. Lancelot died last year on New Year’s Eve. On Monday, Nina Otto went to Miami Airport to pick up a 3-month-old puppy with Lancelot’s genes.

The new Lancy is oblivious to the controversy swirling around him – and the expense. Nina Otto sold some pricey jewelry to get the $150,000 it cost to have Bioarts International clone her dog.
“The money is gone and he’s here and that’s what’s more important to me,” said Otto.
