Six-Legged Spaniel Ariel Undergoes Successful Surgery to Remove Extra Limbs

Global Fundraising Effort Raises Over £15,000 for Ariel's Surgery; Puppy Now Recovering and Preparing for Adoption

Ariel, a six-legged spaniel puppy found abandoned in a supermarket car park in Pembroke, Wales, has undergone successful surgery to remove her extra limbs.
The surgery was made possible by a global fundraising effort that raised over £15,000 ($19,000).
Ariel was born with multiple birth defects, including two extra legs that were partially fused together, resembling a mermaid's tail, hence her name.
Despite initial concerns, all four of Ariel's 'normal' limbs were saved during the surgery.
Ariel is now recovering and will soon be discharged to her foster home in West Wales, before the search begins to find her a 'forever home'.
