Let's just admit it: By now we thought we'd all have cloning machines at home and would be able to just clone ourselves anytime there was a chore we didn't really want to do. Yes, this would inevitably lead to chaos, but it's still better than doing the actual chore.
While we're not quite there yet, cloning is indeed a thing. Turns out there are all kinds of ethical and scientific challenges, but hey, yay science!
In fact, it's now not totally out of the question to clone your dog, even if it is questionable in other senses of the word. To get to this point, someone had to be the first to clone a mammal — but which mammal did they use to do so?

Correct Answer: Sheep
The answer is: Sheep. We just have to take the scientists’ word for it when they say they cloned a sheep because who the hell could even tell? Seriously, could they not have picked any other animal that would be easier to tell apart if they were faking it? You could tell me an entire flock of sheep were clones and I’d have no way to prove they weren’t. Still, this “Dolly” was apparently successfully cloned in Scotland in 1996, so maybe that’s the only animal they had on hand.Source
