We’re heading full-steam into a great holiday weekend, but the news of the day continues to roll on in, and some of it is heartwarming. People love dogs, and it’s always great to see a homeless pooch find a new master. I’m willing to bet, though, that a six-legged British dog taking up surfing wasn’t on anyone’s list of expected news today – but here we are. Ariel, the six-legged mutt in question, has a new home and is learning the watersports from her new owner.
Ariel, named after Disney’s Little Mermaid, was left outside a B&M store in Pembrokeshire last September. She was only 11 weeks old at the time and was taken in by local centre Greenacres Rescue in Haverfordwest.
As well as six legs, the cocker spaniel was also born with two vulvas and only one kidney.
Ariel’s new owner, Ollie Bird, runs an adaptive surf school in West Wales.
The six-legged condition is almost certainly due…
