You can clone many species from (properly) frozen tissue, the multi-cellular organism might be dead, but the cells of many tissues can be salvaged.

So, before being president the dipshit contacted the current Science Minister (an expert in cloning mammals, although a human turd for accepting said position *) and had at least one of his now long dead dogs cloned into a new alive dog. But tbh the cloned new dog might already be dead (¿again?).

The current science minister accepted that position despite being unprepared for such work and despite the open intention of the current government of defunding and dismantling the universities and scientific entities that made that dickhead the person who is now. He studied at University of Buenos Aires (free) where he worked as a professor along with working as scientific researcher for CONICET, the public entity that gives grants and pays the salaries of researchers. I bet my shoes that dipshit would be a nobody if it wasn't for free universities.

Btw, he went to school with Gustavo Ceratti.
