A disabled puppy dubbed 'the mermaid dog' because her badly bent legs dragged behind her has been taken for a walk for the first time in her life after pioneering surgery.
Daisy, a 14 week-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel cross Toy Poodle, was born with problems that affected her back legs, earning her the nickname 'the mermaid dog'.
She either walked like a seal with her legs spread behind, or had her legs folded inwards under her body leaving her dragging her feet and shuffling her bum along the floor.
Once nicknamed 'the mermaid dog', Daisy is now able to enjoy running and walking like any other dog. Here she is pictured going for a run after her surgery, for which the back half of her body was shaved
Daisy, who was originally called Tuffty, was taken to a vet to be put down by a dog breeder, but the vet passed her on to an animal shelter.

I bet she's already been adopted and I hope she is in good hands. Bless her heart and that of those who healed her.
