Marley's clone Ziggy has the same markings and personality as the hero dog, according to the pup's owners
Marley the Labrador retriever was always the dog dictionary definition of a true companion.
Marley’s most amazing and heroic moment of awareness came in 2014, when he was 12 years old and towards the end of his life.It started when Tschirhart, his wife Alicia — four months pregnant with the couple’s first child at the time — and Marley all decided to go on hike to the top of San Diego’s Battle Mountain. About a quarter mile into their hike, through terrain that was more rugged and steep than expected, Alicia went off the path to find a walking stick to use for the rest of the hike.
“We got pretty emotional when we got home. We realized the situation could’ve been deadly for my wife and the baby. Marley had really saved us,” he said. “Marley was passing away over Thanksgiving, which made me worry about the logistics of preserving his cells,” he added. “ViaGen was just amazing. They made sure everything happened on track and we got a good sample. We were able to say goodbye to Marley knowing he was preserved.”After a few years passed and the Tschirharts welcomed another daughter, Collette, now 3, the family decided it was the right time to clone Marley and bring a copy of their brave dog into their lives.
