Louise Hoinkins

Louise Hoinkins is a pet owner and entrepreneur who gained attention for her emotional journey of cloning her beloved dog, Lukas, after his battle with lymphoma. She described Lukas as her soulmate and a source of comfort during difficult times, including her hospitalization. After his passing, she decided to invest $50,000 in cloning, not to replace him, but to create a genetically identical sibling that could serve as a compatible donor. Despite facing skepticism from family and friends regarding the ethics and cost of the procedure, Louise found solace in the resulting puppies, feeling a profound connection to Lukas through them.
