LONDON (AP) — A spaniel born with six legs that was found abandoned in a supermarket parking lot is now like other dogs after having her extra limbs surgically removed.
“She is doing brilliantly,” said Vicki Black, director of the Langford Vets Small Animal Referral Hospital, where she was operated on Thursday.
The dog, who had multiple birth defects, was found in the center of Pembroke, Wales, in September.
Black said the hospital, which is part of the University of Bristol, had never seen a six-legged dog or performed such an operation.
