A puppy has stolen the hearts of social media users after being born with a fifth leg. The baby bulldog, who has been cleverly named Chanel No 5 by netizens, is currently being taken care of by a foster carer from NorCal Bully Breed Rescue in the Sacramento, California area. It was originally presumed the extra leg was a tail, but experts confirmed it is a leg with a bone.

Her carer posted a video of the special puppy and answered questions about her condition. There is also a small foot on the end with three toes and three pads. ‘This puppy was surrendered to us via a vet’s office so we don’t know who the owners or the parents are,’ Chanel’s carer told followers. ‘It has been confirmed that Chanel has five legs. This is not a tail, this is a fifth leg, it has three toes and three pads. The confirmation was done by a physical exam by our veterinarian because this right here is bone, it’s called the tarsus bone and it’s the ankle bone in a dog. So Chanel does have five legs, her tail is right here and of course she is adorable.’

The puppy is now an internet sensation with over 8 million views

In the other video, the carer explained that she had not yet seen Chanel move the extra leg. The animal shelter are currently consulting with the finest animal surgeons in the area about how to “proceed” with the puppy’s situation. The carer added, “Most likely she will keep this leg unless it impeeds her in some way. She’s doing fantastic.” Watch the video, Chanel is now an internet sensation with over 8 million views on her last video.
