“Brullie” the Frog has Surgery to Repair Shattered Leg

By Queuebot in Animals & Pets on Apr 1, 2009 at 10:41 am

After being dug up from hibernation by a burrowing dog, thereby shattering his leg, "Brullie" the frog underwent surgery and was fitted with a tiny steel rod to repair his broken lower leg bone.

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.

The vet was more used to saving cats and dogs and couldn’t understand why I was so worried about a frog, but he eventually agreed.
