The Bullfrog With A Fixed Leg
03/31/09 - Amazing
“Giant bullfrog Brullie has hopped into history as the first of his kind to be fitted with a steel pin to repair a broken leg. He underwent a two-hour operation to have the inch-long metal pin put in his shattered lower leg after being bitten by a neighbour’s dog last month. Doting owner Anne Mearns, 62, said: ‘People think I’m mad to care so much about a frog but I couldn’t bear to see him in so much pain. ‘Frogs are famous for their legs, so the thought of Brullie being left lame broke my heart. I knew without surgery he would never move again, so I to rushed to the vet and begged him to operate.” w/ photos
