Prosthetic leg found in beaver dam, returned to owner

WABENO, Wis. (AP) A Wisconsin man has his prosthetic leg back after the lost limb was discovered sticking out of a beaver dam by two canoers.

Elliot Fuller and Jason Franklin spotted the leg while paddling between a pair of lakes near Wabeno in Forest County on Thursday, the Wisconsin Journal Sentinel reported. Fuller said they were convinced it was part of a corpse until they got close enough to pull it out.

"I was sure we had found a dead body that someone dumped into the creek," the Germantown man said. "We thought it was real at first until we got a closer look.
