Dog with six legs has operation to remove extra limbs

Ariel, the six-legged dog found dumped in a supermarket car park, has had surgery to remove her extra limbs. The 11-week-old spaniel hit the headlines after being abandoned outside a Pembrokeshire branch of B&M in September. About £15,000 was raised by well-wishers all over the world, enabling her to have a life-changing operation. Surgeon Aaron Lutchman managed to save all four of her working limbs after fears one might have to be amputated. "She's doing really well, she's bounced back and she's a happy little dog and we're hoping she's going to go on to lead a fabulous little life," said Mr Lutchman.
