The world is still witnessing many individuals being born with surprising birth defects. The way people react to them varies widely, some are accepted and loved while others are judged and disliked for their uniqueness. Similarly, animals also experience the same treatment. Skipper, a unique puppy with six legs and two tails, is a perfect example of such circumstances. Unfortunately, her own mother rejected her.

Skipper, a unique mix of an Aussie and Collie breed, was born naturally on February 16 in Oklahoma along with eight other siblings. However, her situation was different from her healthy brothers and sisters as she was born with congenital conditions that made her distinct. She was even abandoned by her mother and was taken to the Neel Veterinary Hospital for proper medical care. The hospital staff and people who have witnessed her survival call Skipper a “miracle,” as she is believed to be the first of her kind to survive. Even at just four days old, she has already surpassed any known canine with similar conditions. The hospital proudly shared Skipper’s story with the world through their Facebook page.

Do you know what made Skipper such a unique and peculiar dog? Well, the experts at the hospital disclosed that during the time of birth, an egg in her mother’s womb probably tried to divide into two halves but eventually failed, resulting in the birth of this rare dog.
But don’t worry, Skipper is doing great now. She bravely sailed through the tough phase with her determination and the timely medical assistance. Additionally, she also has dual organs below her waistline, but fortunately, they are functioning perfectly fine.

Skipper has been receiving an abundance of love and support from many individuals who are praying for her well-being. Despite some remaining concerns about her health, her caretakers have assured the public that she is a cheerful and healthy puppy without experiencing any discomfort or pain. Hence, there is no reason to fret at the moment.

As for her future, the Neel Veterinary Hospital confirmed through their Facebook page that they have no intentions of euthanizing Skipper since she does not show any indication of pain or suffering. The vets are optimistic that Skipper will lead a joyous and fulfilling life; however, they acknowledge that they cannot predict what lies ahead for her. Thus, they are expecting to embark on a journey with her.

Skipper’s well-wishers can keep track of her progress through the hospital’s Facebook page, which has amassed a following of over 55 thousand individuals.
