6-legged deer gets new home after dog attack
ARMUCHEE, Ga. (AP) - A six-legged deer found in north Georgia after being attacked by a dog has a new home. An Athens woman with a permit to keep unique animals in captivity has agreed to take the unusual deer. The animal was found July 18 near Armuchee and underwent surgery to repair its minor injuries.

Berry College animal science professor George Gallagher took the deer after its surgery.
He said he is hoping to avoid making the deer a "circus sideshow." He said the animal's condition prevents it from surviving in the wild.
The fawn has two complete pelvises and two tails. One of the tails had to be amputated.
Gallagher said the fawn has a condition that is similar to Siamese twins in humans.
