The puppy, born by cesarean section on Saturday from a surrogate who had carried him, is a clone of a beloved boxer named Dylan, who died unexpectedly of a heart attack last June. The clone was done at Sooam Biotech Research Foundation in Korea, the only laboratory in the world that will perform such an operation. The DNA was harvested from Dylan's muscle tissue.

The Guardian published a footage of the puppy's first moments, as it gets cleaned off in an incubation chamber just after birth.

The dog's owners, Laura Jacques and Richard Remde of the United Kingdom, had live-tweeted the new puppy's birth, posting updates to a Twitter account throughout.
