"Dogs come in all shapes and sizes, and Pig the Akita mix definitely proves it. How is she unusual looking, you ask? Pig has Short Spine Syndrome which is exactly what it sounds like: she is missing several vertebrae, so her body is much shorter than it is supposed to be."

Pig is not alone!

There are now eight known dogs with so-called short-spine syndrome like Pig out there. There could very well be more. But, ironically, many of the owners of these unusual canines thought theirs was the only one.

It was interesting how the article said all of the dogs have basically the same demeanor. I wonder if it's a side effect of the condition.

I was thinking that too. Of all the side effects to have, it's a good one.


One thought I did have about these dogs though, is if someone out there would try to breed dogs to get this syndrome. There are so many wackjobs out there, some might think it's a possibility or good idea.

Ugh. That is a horrible thought. Fortunately it seems to be pretty rare. And, for that matter, most of them have been healthy all but Molly Faith (from the article).
