This would be great for police and other organizations that use rescue dogs. You could make backups of the smartest dog you have, which would presumably train about as well as the original. :p

Mammoths and other extinct species. Gee, that'll be useful.

They haven't thought of cloning a couple of Albert Einsteins or Mahatma Ghandis I suppose. We could probably actually use a few of them.
