A puppy born with front paws facing up instead of down, and unable to walk, is recovering after recent surgery in Oklahoma, a report said Friday.
Milo, 10 weeks old, underwent elbow surgery Jan. 9 at Oklahoma State University's Center for Veterinary Health Sciences in Stillwater.
Dr. Erik Clary said Friday that he's pleased with Milo's progress.

The veterinarian inserted pins in Milo's elbows to realign the joints and eventually help the dog learn to walk.
