Memories aren't carried in DNA. Genes are what carried in DNA. If we did clone this dog, it would be exactly the same, PHYSICALLY. The mental part of it is developed over time. Put it this way. It's like we went back and time and took the dog the moment it was born so it doesn't have any memories or recollection. This is the best explanation I can give without looking at facts.
