Seen side by side for the first time, this pair of pets look like they could be mother and daughter. While there is 12 years between them, however, these two dachshunds have identical genes – and are Britain's first cloned dogs. Scientists took a skin sample from the older dog, Winnie, to help manufacture a genetically identical embryo. The result, Mini-Winnie, was born in March and was flown to Britain on Saturday after being cared for by experts in South Korea for five months. Two of a kind: Britain's first clone dog 'minnie winnie' with her 12-year-old genetic mother 'Winnie'
