Dolly (sheep)
Dolly was cloned by Keith Campbell, Ian Wilmut and colleagues at the Roslin Institute, part of the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, and the biotechnology company PPL Therapeutics, based near Edinburgh. The funding for Dolly's cloning was provided by PPL Therapeutics and the Ministry of Agriculture. She was born on 5 July 1996 and died from a progressive lung disease five months before her seventh birthday (the disease was not considered related to her being a clone). She has been called "the world's most famous sheep" by sources including BBC News and "Scientific American".
Dolly Dimples (comic strip)
King Features' archivist dates the character's debut as March 22, 1903, although at that point she was called Toodles, as part of the strip "Naughty Toodles", which ran from 1903 to 1904. An analog character appeared in two non-Hearst strips, "The Adventures of Dolly Drake and Bobby Blake in Storyland" (Philadelphia Press, 1905–1906) and "The Turr’ble Tales of Kaptain Kiddo" (1909), both written by Drayton's sister Margaret G. Hays.
