所以當不得不跟自己心愛的這條拉布拉多犬說再見時，阿里西亞和大衛(wèi)·查哈特不得已采取了舉動來讓瑪利繼續(xù)活下去—他們克隆了它。
Ziggy's resemblance to Marley, the California couple say, is uncanny.
新克隆這條狗叫做澤吉，這對加州夫婦說，它簡直是瑪利的復刻版。
"They have the same personality, they play the same, they favor the same toys," Alicia told us.

While cloning your pet seems like something you'd see in a sci-fi movie, it's actually been done more often than you'd think.
盡管克隆自己的寵物聽起來有點像科幻電影中看到的情節(jié)，但實際上它比想象中的發(fā)生次數(shù)多得多。

The cloning process for Marley was done through ViaGen Pets, they said.

The Tschirharts, who live in Escondido, told us that it was a small price to pay.

It was the least they could do.
這是他們至少應(yīng)該做的。
When Alicia was about four months pregnant, the couple, dog in tow, went out on a hike.
在阿利西亞懷孕四個月的時候，這對夫婦牽著他們的狗一起出外徒步旅行。
Alicia reached down to grab a walking stick, but Marley darted out and started clawing at the ground in the area where she was reaching.
阿利西亞想下去折一根走路杖，但瑪利沖出去開始在她原本想下去的地方扒拉起來。
"I just saw this really big stick and so I was focused on grabbing that," Alicia said.

"I didn't even see the snake until Marley started clawing."
“直到瑪麗開始扒拉，我才看到了那條蛇?！?/p>
What was hiding off the trail was a venomous rattlesnake.
躲在路旁邊的是一條有毒的響尾蛇。
Marley chased it away, the couple said.

"I just couldn't think of any better way to do that. To have, you know, their years growing up to have Ziggy around," David said.
“我簡直想不出更好的辦法了，你知道嗎，讓他們可以在澤吉的陪伴下長大?！贝笮l(wèi)說道。
