Barbra Streisand’s Double Trouble: The Dog That Got a Clone
Ever wondered what a celebrity’s heartbreak looks like? Apparently, it involves a sudden, Orwellian twist: Barbra Streisand didn’t just mourn her pet, she cloned it. According to a recent interview with Variety, the 75‑year‑old diva turned her beloved Coton de Tulear into a twin squad.
The Original
Samantha—her “cookie‑crisp” dog—passed last year. The Coton de Tulear, famous for its cotton‑like fur and soft demeanor, was the one who had the most intense stare out of all the pets in Streisand’s family.
The Clones
- Miss Violet—named after the livery of the lady’s fashion sense, and the hue you’d find in a high‑school pep rally.
- Miss Scarlett—the reds that remind you of the card game and a pinch of glam.
While she kept the cloning process under wraps, Barbra shared a pinch of the science: she collected cells from Samantha’s mouth and stomach right before she went to the big dog cemetery. Sounds a tad dramatic, but “I want the same brown eyes and that serious look—because you know, style matters,” the singer revealed. She’s even out to see if the clones grow up looking like their original cowgirl CEO.
Pet Inventory List
So here’s the “pony” lineup:
- Miss Violet – red‑note
- Miss Scarlett – brown‑eye focus
- Miss Fanny – a relative that still carries Samantha’s genes but is more in the background of the paparazzi star.
Fashion Statements
Barbra made sure the dogs were instantly distinguishable—she dressed them in vivid violet and scarlet outfits so their tail wagging would be as colorful as their name. The diva hasn’t stopped petting the crew; updates go out on Instagram (because nothing says “go live” like a pupper in a pink hoodie).
Final Thought
When you hear a star like Barbra takes on cloning, you’d think she’s cracking the next sci‑fi movie. In reality, it’s a tale of love, loss, and a subtle quest for consistency. The new pups show she’s got a blazing passion for keeping her family complete—dog‑style.
