Dog With Five Legs Shows Differences Are Awesome!

A husky-pitbull mix named Nora has a rare condition called ectrodactyly which caused her to be born with five legs rather than the more typical four seen in canines. One of Nora’s front legs is split, making the rescue pup look like she has two paws at the end of one leg.

Nora’s condition does not cause her discomfort or hold her back in any way. Indeed a quick scroll through the account @Norastrongarm shows the pup living her best life with all five legs! The pup enjoys hiking and hanging outside with her human, who is an orthopedic veterinary technician. Nora’s story reminds us all that differences are awesome and shouldn’t be treated as a hindrance.
