AT first glance Skipper looks like any other adorable puppy. Look a little closer and you might notice that the 10-day-old brown and white puppy has six legs.

According to the Neel Veterinary Hospital in Oklahoma City, the United States, where the rare little dog has been receiving care, Skipper is a “miracle.” She was born Feb. 16 — one of a litter of nine.

The hospital says their specialists haven’t been able to find any published case studies of a puppy being born alive with Skipper’s congenital conditions.

They believe that she was supposed to have a twin but that they did not completely split apart so from about the waist down she has double body parts.

Skipper is doing well so far, though she is so unique that the veterinary staff is unsure of what her future holds. At this stage they do not think she will have to have any of her legs removed and they may actually help her with her stability and balance as she learns to walk.(SD-Agencies)
