OWNER OF 5-LEGGED DOG HAS EXTRA APPENDAGE REMOVED

From Today's New York Post
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The new owner of a five-legged puppy says the dog has undergone surgery to remove the extra appendage.
Owner Allyson Siegel told WBTV that the amputation surgery was expedited early Thursday morning in part because a Coney Island animal show owner said he was the rightful owner of the dog. John Strong told The Charlotte Observer Wednesday that he planned to file a lawsuit over the matter, saying he had an agreement to buy the dog, Lilly, from a Gastonia man.
The New York man says his show contains "amazing animals, oddities and freaks."
The dog's former owner, Calvin Owensby, sold the Chihuahua-terrier pup to Siegel, who vowed to get the extra leg amputated so the dog can walk normally.
Thanks Mike Naughton!
