5-Legged Pup Rescued From Coney Island Freak Show
http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/5-Legged-Pup-Rescued-From-Coney-Sideshow.html

A five-legged puppy was saved from life in a Coney Island freak show thanks to a kindhearted Southerner who paid $4,000 for the pooch.

Sideshow owner John Strong, who heard about the puppy through a friend, had paid Owensby $1,000 as a deposit on a $3,000 agreement so he could add the pup to his "Freaks of Nature" show.

Siegel changed the puppy's name from Precious to Lilly and plans to spend an additional $2,000 to have the extra appendage removed. Surgery is set in two weeks. The fifth leg, which trips Lilly as she tries to walk, hangs limply between the puppy's two back legs.

7. Ah, what a cutie. I bet she'll be just fine once she gets the extra gam removed.
