How interesting and yet so cute. I would have loved him any way he had come into the world, even with four toes.

I'm glad that the vet was willing to try to help Octopus instead of just euthanizing him. I realize that he may not have been out of the woods after surgery, but at least he was getting a chance.

We need more vets like this in the world. What a truly compassionate man for doing this surgery. As cute as this little dog is, I'm sure he won't have any trouble finding a good home.

Dogs dont know they are disabled that is why they jump back so quickly,

Being as young as he is, I hope he will adapt to having only three legs very easily.

Poor little thing. I wish they could just remove some of the paws and he could still walk on one, but it sounds like removal of the leg is the only option? Hopefully some kind of prosthetic is available although some dogs do well on only 3 legs. I hope this little guy gets a home where he can be looked after.

I am going to be the big meany on this one. The dog is not able to walk or stand on his own. What kind of life is that? The fact that he doesn't have a home and they are spending thousands and thousands of dollars on him to have surgery and then MAYBE find a home makes me sad when there are millions of perfectly healthy animals with a much higher quality of life being euthanized every day.

More mutations in the population. This is a serious matter for concern. Are mutations occurring more frequently? If so, why?

Thank goodness there are special people out there in the world who have big hearts and step in to help the less fortunate, whether it be a person or a pet. In the same token, there will be someone very special who will step in to adopt Octopus. What a nice story.

If both front legs have double paws, I wonder why the right leg has to be amputated but the left can be fixed. Good thing though as a dog is perfectly able to walk, run etc. on three legs. So glad vets can do things about these issues today and I wish this little guy the very best of luck.

Wow, this veterinarian is going all out to save Octopus. Maybe they could give the puppy some wheels if his right leg needs to be amputated. I shall be interested to see the outcome of the surgery.
