Roo was discovered for the first time in an internet advertisement posted by a breeder. Luke Salmon, who is 15 years old and the son of Lauren Salmon, was the one who saw the advertisement. The family realized without a moment’s hesitation that they had to have her. They were aware that due to the fact that Roo was born with a birth defect, it was possible that the breeder might ultimately have her put down if she was unable to find a home for her. Roo is a Labrador mix that is just eight weeks old. She was given the name “Roo” after a kangaroo due to the manner in which she moves about by hopping on her hind legs. Roo walks by propping herself up on her elbows and kicking her bottom into the air as she moves. Roo was born with six legs, two of which are located at the front of the body. This is the reason why she walks in such a peculiar manner, which may be frustrating at times.
An Unwanted “Kangaroo” Puppy That Was Born With Six Legs Is Adopted By A Teen Who Has Been Bullied.
Roo was discovered for the first time in an internet advertisement posted by a breeder. Luke Salmon, who is 15 years old and the son of Lauren Salmon, was the one who saw the advertisement. The family realized without a moment’s hesitation that they had to have her. They were aware that due to the fact that Roo was born with a birth defect, it was possible that the breeder might ultimately have her put down if she was unable to find a home for her. When Luke and Lauren went to get Roo, the small puppy came bounding out of her enclosure and sprang up on her hind legs in anticipation of their arrival. Roo’s excitement upon their arrival was palpable. Despite the fact that she had this little physical flaw, Lauren and Luke could see straight away that she was full of life.
Because she’s still a puppy, we’d say she’s calm yet playful despite all the puppy energy she has. According to what Lauren said to Fox News, “There are not many dogs like Roo out there.” “I believe the breeders kill them off because they aren’t worth anything, but to us she’s priceless,” you said. “But for us she’s priceless.” Luke and Roo have been inseparable since since Roo returned to her family’s house. And Luke is familiar with the experience of being the one who is overlooked. The young man in his teens has a skin problem called psoriasis, which causes him to develop red spots all over his body. Luke has been the target of bullying at school due to the psoriasis he suffers from.
But things have changed, and he and Roo each have a close companion now.
Roo has not only found a home filled with loving people, but he has also acquired a new canine brother, in addition to two cats and two bunnies!
In the meanwhile, Lauren is now consulting with Dr. Noel Fitzpatrick to discuss the many options available for assisting with Roo’s movement issues. Even though Roo’s two additional legs make it difficult for her to walk like a regular dog, they do not cause her any discomfort.
