"Six-Legged Spaniel's Surgery and Recovery: Adapting to Life on Four Paws"
TL;DR
Ariel, a spaniel born with six legs, underwent surgery to remove the extra limbs and is now adjusting to life on four legs. Found abandoned in a supermarket parking lot, she was taken in by Greenacres Rescue, which raised funds for her surgery. The Langford Vets Small Animal Referral Hospital in Bristol, England, performed the unprecedented operation, and Ariel is now doing well, running through the grass and adapting to her new mobility.
