WBZ TV News has a report named Christina Hager. He had sent his DNA sample to different pet testing facilities. One of these companies, DNA My Dog, identified Hagar as a dog.
The woman had sent her cheek swab sample to three other companies based in Melbourne, Florida and Washington. 2 of these companies failed to provide the data required to conduct the Breed ID analysis.
They said they could not give a reliable report due to lack of sufficient DNA. However, one company reported.
Elinor Carlson, a geneticist at the Broad Institute and UMass Chan Medical School, said, ‘I am personally concerned that you are very ignorant from a consumer perspective. Whenever you go to those companies, you do not know what result you are going to get. The laws regarding this are also quite light.
There was a complaint about receiving wrong report
Earlier, the same thing had happened with a person from New Hampshire city. He told, ‘I have a pet. I sent the swab sample to DNA My Dog.
