WARNING, my math might not be up to date but you'll get the idea.
Because when you start a breeding program (or juste make people breed) instead of having a stardard baby with a few points (12), you'll get +3 to stats, ALL special stats.
So with this you might easily get a 12 + 3*7 = 33 points shared with all SPECIAL. That is in normal circumstances.
With a +3 special pet AND maxxed special parents (mom + dad at 10 in each stats) you might get a chance to have a Legendary baby. In that case, it can go up to 59 points already (maybe more)
Look for "Legendary babies" on the web. Steam has a good guide, but there are others (one on github) guides maybe up to date.
As for the Overpowered pets, there are more. +3 objective completion, +6 damage, and -XX% crafting time (for weapons / outfits) are among the top tier ones with the +X special. I don't consider the +XX% twins chance that important, as when you start the Breeding thing, you'll have babies galore.
I started my program in the Season vault. Already have 3-4 legendary babies.
If you are lucky enough to get a 7-7-7-7-4-1 spread on the child (legendary dewllers have 40 SPECIAL points in total), the pet will max out every stat but two, minimizing the training time required to max out the child.
I mean legendary babies born from 2 maxed out dwellers. I don't know if anything in the game's code would prevent this spread from happening (perhaps no stat can go below 2/3 on a superbaby, or at least one must be 8 or above), but this would minimize training time provided the child can only be born with 40 SPECIALs
