Traits of Trackr

James Symington is experiencing an extreme case of deja vu.
The former Halifax, Canada, police officer's partner, Trakr (top), died in April. But on Wednesday, Symington took home five clones of the German shepherd as the winner of a contest run by a business that does stem-cell research and microengineering.
In his career as a search-and-rescue dog, Trakr helped recover more than $1 million in stolen goods and sniffed out the final survivor in the rubble of the World Trade Center after the September 11 terrorist attacks.
Symington choked back tears as he described his relationship with Trakr, who was by his side for 15 years.
