This really just gets more and more bizarre.
So, after selling her house to scrape up the $50,000 needed to clone her long-dead pitbull Booger, getting herself to South Korea for the birth of the five puppies, and then admitting that she is the same Joyce Bernann McKinney that kidnapped and raped a Mormon missionary in the 70’s, Bernann McKinney has left South Korea without the cloned puppies.

So maybe it’s not so weird after all that the woman who paid for the first commercial pet cloning shelled out so much to have it done: she may have a history of not being able to let go!

She’s basing it on recipes she uses for her pit bull Isaboo, and proceeds from the sales will go to Rachael’s Rescue, a charity she founded to help abused animals.
The ingredients don’t list onion so that’s a start, right?
Rachael says: “It seemed like not a lot of extra time to donate to something that could potentially raise millions of dollars for championing these little creatures that can’t speak for themselves.” A cat food line is …read more
