Recently citizens of the Russian city of Vladimir brought an unusual “patient” to one of the city vet clinics – a puppy with five legs that was born by a homeless dog. The medics were puzzled whether to remove the superfluous limb or leave it as it was. Besides, the animal’s right front leg was a bit shorter that the other 3 and bifurcated so that the puppy cannot use it for walking. The fifth leg does not have a bone and consists of cartilaginous tissue.
      
      Now the doctors are considering two options: to remove the fifth limb or to link it with the right front leg to make it functional. Anyway, the puppy will undergo surgery in around a month as the dog must grow up a little. After the operation the puppy will supposedly stay at the vet clinic.
