The most endearing puppy is propelled to news and social media fame worldwide for the unique tail on his forehead!
The little magical furry unicorn is appropriately named Narwhal, after the Arctic whale whose sword looking canine tooth protrudes out of its head like a tusk. Several scientists theorize that the appendage on Narwhal’s forehead is from a parasitic twin, which is a rare occurrence for dogs. The adorable fluff ball does not seem to be bothered by the second tail in between his eyes though.
Narwhal was an abandoned dog left in the cold until Mac’s Mission found him on the side of a road and brought him in. The Missouri based rescue organization, which focuses on special needs dogs that might otherwise be put to sleep elsewhere, believes that it is the abnormalities that make Narwhal and their other charges more lovable. Offers have since poured in to adopt the unicorn puppy.
Healthy And Sweet
Medical examinations show that the birth defect has no effect on Narwhal’s overall health so far. The non-wagging extra tail is also absent of bones, which means that it will not need to be surgically removed.
And caregivers report that playful Narwhal likes giving kisses and nibbling on fingers!
