The dog was brought to an animal shelter in August this year. After the surgery the shelter held a christening ceremony and changed its name from Libby to 'Wiggles'.
A dog in United States' Washington has undergone a successful surgery to remove a volleyball-sized tumour and is now living with its new family. The 5-year-old Pitbull named Libby was brought to the Humane Society of Tacoma-Pierce County along with 40 other neglected animals, according to Fox13. Libby arrived at the animal shelter on August 17 with a 10-pound tumour on the bone of its upper right leg that left the dog unable to move, the outlet further said.
Two parakeets, five geckos, one bearded dragon, eight snakes, four rabbits and one kitten were the other animals that were handed over to the society for care.
After Libby's surgery, the centre held a christening ceremony and changed its name to 'Wiggles'. While the tumour was removed, the dog's leg was also amputated.
