Six-legged spaniel begins new life at the beach

A puppy born with six legs has started a new life by the sea after having her spare limbs removed.

Ariel - named after a character in Disney's The Little Mermaid - has been adopted by a couple who teach disabled people how to surf.

She was found aged 11 weeks outside a B&M in Pembroke Dock, Pembrokeshire.

The spaniel was initially looked after by a rescue centre near Haverfordwest after her excess appendages partially fused to resemble a mermaid's tail.

The centre was deluged by calls from hundreds of people who wanted to adopt her.
