Dominica was born in Africa with 4 legs due to the fact that during the development of the fetus in the womb of his mother there was also the so-called parasitic twin (an extremely rare biological phenomenon that occurs when the embryo of a twin absorbs less developed), which did not develop to the end.

Therefore, the child was born with 2 spines and 4 legs, 2 of which protruded from the back, reports Daily Mail.

A charitable organization in Ohio paid for her flight to the United States, where she underwent a complicated operation involving 5 surgeons and 50 other medical professionals.

Without such a surgical intervention, the life of the baby would be very short. Now the girl is temporarily sheltered by an American family, which is simply delighted with her cheerfulness.

Doctors say that the process of rehabilitating a child is going very well, and they give excellent predictions about her condition. In a few weeks, she will return to Africa.
