Excerpt from The Anatomical Record, Vol. 19: June-November, 1920

From Mr. Raines were secured the following data: The dog was born October 7, 1918, died from exposure to cold the night of January 9, 1919. Her father was a shepherd, her mother a bull-terrier, both parents were apparently normal. The litter included in addition to this abnormal individual one normal brother and three normal sisters. The six-legged puppy appeared in life otherwise normal and healthy, and was apparently but little inconvenienced in walking and running by the extra pair of legs, which she carried slightly raised above the ground. The unpaired tail was apparently under perfect control.
