In Bournemouth, UK, a couple, Ian Clague and Dominika Sojka, are devastated after their eight-month-old Chowski puppy, Bijoux, was found dying on a roadside. Bijoux had gone missing from their secured garden, and shortly after her death, the couple received a disturbing call claiming their dog was 'with Jesus,' which they suspect was a cruel prank. In their grief, they have decided to pursue cloning as a way to bring Bijoux back to life. They found a company in Whitchurch, Shropshire, that can preserve and grow cell samples from animals immediately after death. The process involves sending Bijoux's cells to a lab in the US, where they will replicate her DNA and create embryos to be implanted into a surrogate dog. This decision reflects their deep emotional attachment to Bijoux, who was like a child to them and accompanied them everywhere. The couple hopes that cloning will provide them with another chance to experience the joy of having Bijoux in their lives again.
