A puppy in southeast London was named after a kangaroo because she hops around on her back paws despite being born with six legs.

Roo, an eight-week-old Labrador-cross, jumps around on her back paws because she was born with two extra front legs, that cause her a little trouble when she walks.

Lauren Salmon, 33, from Orpington bought Roo from breeders in Essex two weeks ago after her son Luke, 15, spotted the special pup online.

Lauren has now contacted Dr Noel Fitzpatrick, the specialist who stars in Channel 4’s "The Supervet", to see if he can help to improve Roo’s mobility because her extra legs get in the way when she's walking.

This footage was filmed on August 7.
