NFL legend Tom Brady just dropped one of the most jaw-dropping revelations of the year — his new dog, Junie, isn’t just any pup… she’s a clone of his late pit bull mix Lua, who passed away two years ago. 🧬🐾

The seven-time Super Bowl champion confirmed that he worked with biotech company Colossal Biosciences to bring Junie into the world — using blood drawn from Lua before her death to recreate her genetic twin.

“I love my animals. They mean the world to me and my family,” Brady said in a statement. “A few years ago, I worked with Colossal and used their non-invasive cloning technology through a simple blood draw of our elderly dog before she passed. It gave us a second chance with a clone of our beloved Lua.”

Cue the internet meltdown. 💥

🧬 The Dog Who Came Back

Brady first adopted Lua with his then-wife Gisele Bündchen in 2014. The family later added a beagle named Scooby, a terrier named Fluffy, and a black pit bull mix named Onyx. When Lua passed away in 2023, Brady was reportedly “devastated.”

Now, two years later, Lua has — quite literally — returned.

Photos released this week show Brady playing with his new puppy Junie, a snow-white pit bull with Lua’s same face, same markings… and the exact same DNA.

“She has Lua’s soul,” one family friend told People. “You can see the connection instantly. It’s eerie, beautiful, and a little emotional.”

🧪 Inside the “Colossal” Experiment

Brady’s partnership with Colossal Biosciences — the same company currently attempting to resurrect the woolly mammoth by 2027 — was kept quiet until now.

The biotech giant confirmed in a press release that Brady’s cloned pup was part of its new “non-invasive genetic preservation program,” which allows owners to draw a small sample of blood from their pets to preserve DNA before death.

Colossal recently made headlines for reportedly reviving the extinct dire wolf species through gene editing. Now, it’s making news again — this time with Brady’s “dog resurrection.”

But while Brady described the experience as “a miracle,” the public’s reaction has been anything but unanimous.

😳 Fans Are Divided: “Heartwarming or Creepy?”

Social media exploded within minutes of the revelation, with some fans calling the idea “a modern miracle,” and others branding it “downright dystopian.”

“I’m a dog guy and a Brady guy. But this? This is weird as hell,” tweeted Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy.

Another fan joked:

“Tom Brady cloned himself in 2000 and called it his NFL career. Now he’s doing it again with dogs!” 😂

Some users even compared the story to Jurassic Park, with one viral post reading:

“Bro didn’t just win Super Bowls… he got himself a Jurassic Bark starter kit.” 🦖🐕

Animal-rights activists were less amused. Critics pointed to the high cost of cloning — which can run between $50,000 and $85,000 — and the ethical implications, especially given that 920,000 shelter animals are euthanized annually in the U.S.

“As much as I wish I could clone all my pets, Tom — this is weird,” one fan pleaded online. “Invest in an adoption center instead.”

🐾 PETA Responds — and So Do the Trolls

In an official statement, PETA stopped short of condemning Brady but urged him to think about the message he’s sending.

“Millions listen to him,” the group said. “Language and choices matter. We encourage him to use his influence to promote kindness and adoption — not cloning.”

Meanwhile, critics on X (formerly Twitter) accused Brady of playing God. One user wrote:

“Tom Brady just created his own version of Black Mirror — but with dogs.”

Still, others defended him, saying grief and love make people do extraordinary things.

“If I had the money, I’d clone my dog too,” one fan wrote. “Don’t judge a man for wanting to keep a piece of his best friend alive.” 💔

🏈 Beyond the Science — A Man Still Grieving

Those close to Brady say the cloning project was born out of heartbreak, not vanity. After Lua’s death, he reportedly “couldn’t stand the quiet” in his home and wanted his kids to “feel her spirit around again.”

And while the ethics of cloning will continue to spark debate, one thing is clear: Brady’s bond with his pets runs deeper than touchdowns and trophies.

“For Tom,” said a source, “Lua wasn’t just a dog — she was family. Now, in some strange way, she’s home again.” 🐾

💬 The Final Whistle

Tom Brady has conquered football, business, and broadcasting — and now, it seems, he’s making history in biotechnology. Whether you find it touching or terrifying, one thing’s undeniable: he’s rewriting the playbook on grief, genetics, and love.

As one fan perfectly summed it up:

“Brady really said, ‘If I can’t turn back time… I’ll just clone it.’” 🧬❤️
