"Stuff is eaten by dogs, broken by family and friends, sanded down by the wind, frozen by the mountains, lost by the prairie, burnt off by the sun, washed away by the rain. So you are left with dogs, family, friends, sun, rain, wind, prairie and mountains. What more do you want?"

Hi Reid! As I understand the "down-low" I've been hearing, the lead Korean scientist is going to be Hwang Woo-Suk, the scientist who was first to successfully clone a dog. The dog, an Afghan Hound, was bred and sold to Korea by an American breeder who I know personally.
The 8-year old boy in my heart is jumping up and down right now...
Do they have enough DNA diversity for an eventual re-establishment? And what about predators? I think we need some sabertooth cats, cave lions, and dire wolves to come along, too!
