Tom Brady was spotted walking his dog after completing a gym session in Surfside, Florida on Wednesday afternoon. There is nothing strange in this. Correct?
Correct?
The seven-time Super Bowl champion, wearing his signature Noble gear and carrying a gym bag, led the pup through a Miami-area neighborhood before speeding back to his car.
However, viewers immediately noticed that the dog bore a striking resemblance to Brady's late pitbull mix, Lua — and for good reason: The dog walking next to him was Junie, an exact genetic clone of the beloved family pet.
A clone. Bruh.

Tom Brady was spotted casually walking his cloned dog Junie in Miami
Well, it's good to see Brady relaxing here. Concentrated. As they proceeded down the road, they paid their full attention to the dog.
Juni Lua has an attractive image. You'd hope so, because I'm sure he paid a lot of money to buy the clone.
The puppy was walking comfortably on a leash and was getting curious glances from the locals in Miami's upscale neighborhood. This brief public appearance was one of the first widely photographed moments of Brady out and about with the cloned dog after news of the unusual arrangement broke last year.
Brady publicly revealed in November last year that Junie was created through non-invasive cloning technology from a blood sample taken from Lua before she passed away in 2023.
Which was right after his divorce from Gisele Bundchen. Take into account his struggles leading up to retirement, and one can imagine that Brady has separation anxiety.
Working with biotech firm Colossal Biosciences — a company in which Brady is an investor — the former NFL star gave his three children a "second chance" along with their beloved family pet.

While Brady saw the move as one out of love for his animals, the confession sparked widespread reaction online, with many calling it "weird" and questioning why he didn't adopt a shelter dog instead.
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, who described himself as both "a dog guy and a Brady guy," expressed this sentiment bluntly: "It's weird as f—."
Cloning a pet typically costs between $50,000 and $85,000.
