Tom Brady’s New Dog Is Actually His Old Dog — Thanks to Cloning

Tom Brady’s latest pet story sounds straight out of Black Mirror.

The NFL legend revealed that his new dog, Junie, isn’t just any puppy — she’s the clone of his late dog, Lua. Yes, a literal genetic twin.

Brady worked with a company called Colossal Biosciences to make it happen. The same biotech firm has been making headlines for its goal to bring back extinct animals like the woolly mammoth, and now apparently, they’re also helping superstar athletes bring back their best friends.

Brady’s connection to Colossal isn’t just personal — it’s financial. He’s also an investor. So, when he talks about how amazing the technology is, he’s speaking both as a proud dog dad and as a stakeholder.

In a statement that definitely sounds like it went through a few rounds of PR polish, Brady said, “I love my animals. They mean the world to me and my family. A few years ago, I worked with Colossal and leveraged their non-invasive cloning technology through a simple blood draw of our family’s elderly dog before she passed.”

Junie, the clone, is now part of the Brady household — same DNA, new personality. And Brady says he’s “excited how this technology can help both families losing their beloved pets while helping to save endangered species.”

It’s a strange but very 2025 moment: the greatest quarterback of all time investing in the greatest scientific effort to bring back a dog — and possibly, one day, the woolly mammoth.

Whether you find it touching or slightly spooky, Brady’s love for Lua clearly runs deep. And thanks to some futuristic science, it seems that love found a second life.
