’ RALEIGH, N.C. — A five-legged dog discovered near a
enough state park has undergone successful surgery to remove two
of her legs.
During a 2'-hour operation Monday morning, a veteri-
nary surgeon removed the dog’s back two left legs, which
resulted from an extremely rare genetic anomaly.
The Maltese-and-terrier mix named Popcorn created quite
a stir in the local dog-lover community when she was found
near Umstead State Park, northwest of Raleigh. Experts said
it was unheard of for such an animal to live long past birth.
Popcorn is believed to be between 9 months and a year
old.
