Puppy Thaws

from We Have Concerns Hosted by Jeff Cannata/Anthony Carboni

Scientists have managed to thaw out and perform an autopsy on an ancient frozen puppy, which was mummified in the Russian permafrost some 12,400 years ago. The next? Obviously, someone wants to clone it. Jeff and Anthony have some reservations about bringing back a long-extinct breed of dog, adorable puppy or no. We Have Concerns is entirely listener supported!
