Meet Skipper, the First Puppy to Survive With Six Legs

Skipper, an Aussie border collie mix born last week, is being called a “miracle” because she’s believed to be the first pup to survive in utero with six legs. Published research does not indicate that a puppy has been born alive with her combination of congenital conditions. Skipper was born with a few rare disorders, including 2 pelvic regions, 2 lower urinary tracts, 2 reproductive systems, 2 tails and 6 legs. She was rejected by her mother, so she’s currently being bottle fed, but vets say she’s pain-free, very strong, all 6 of her legs work and she’s doing well at home.
