After taking her name from Disney's Little Mermaid, Ariel's new life by water is going swimmingly.

Six-legged 'mermaid' dog Ariel finds new home by the sea in Wales

A dog born with six legs and dumped in a car park has finally found her forever home.

Ariel made headlines around the world when, aged 11 weeks, she was discovered outside a Pembrokeshire supermarket last October.

About £15,000 was then raised by well-wishers for a life-changing operation to remove her extra back limbs, which partially fused together to resemble a mermaid's tail.

Now the spaniel - named after Disney's The Little Mermaid - has finally been adopted, aptly starting a new life by the sea with a couple who teach people with disabilities how to surf.
