Jul 22, 2009
Freak show puppy? Not anymore - A 5 legged puppy, Lilly, a Chihuahua terrier mix, that has five legs, that was rescued by Allyson Siegel of Charlotte, N.C. She is now worth $4,000 and gets some help from a cool veterinarian. More News mix, a man could not find his baby but when he did the baby was "bleeding from the mouth and clutched in the jaws of a family dog who had carried him from his crib to the heavily wooded backyard," reports the Arizona Republic.
Hip Hop Music explains, "Reading this story, I shudder to think of it happening to my family. Coming home and finding your baby missing form the crib, then finding it in the jaws of a dog? Horrifying."

The item adds, "Thankfully their doctors are now saying the baby will survive, though it is still in critical condition. Apparently the dog was not trying to hurt the baby, and was actually trying to treat it like a puppy, and this is why it had the baby in its mouth and took it from the crib... but the baby was too delicate to handle that kind of treatment. Very sad news story all around, I wonder if they keep the dog after this? Maybe just keep it outdoors?
Where's the 5 legged puppy? The New York Daily News has all the photos of the dog and notes "A Manhattan vet was so touched by the actions of Allyson Siegel, the Charlotte woman who bought Lilly for $4,000 to spare her from a life as a Surf Ave. freak puppy, that he offered to remove the dog's extra leg for free."
