Rescue Puppy’s Unicorn Horn Is Actually an Extra Tail Growing Out of His Forehead

Rescue Puppy’s Unicorn Horn Is Actually an Extra Tail Growing Out of His Forehead

For Dog People

Imagine if you combined the power of the mystical, mythical unicorn with all the fuzziness of a cuddly puppy. You’d have the most powerful creature in existence!

And that creature would be Narwhal the unicorn puppy.

Meet Narwhal the unicorn


Don’t worry. Narwhal is using his powers for good.

This sweet puppy was found roaming in the cold with another dog friend in Jackson, Missouri. Narwhal lucked out in getting a rescue from Mac’s Mission, a non-profit dedicated to helping abused dogs and those with special needs.

My first checkup!

 

Narwhal’s ‘horn’ is actually a second tail growing out of his forehead. While vets will keep a close eye on Narwhal as he develops, x-rays and examination show that his extra tail won’t harm him, and doesn’t cause him any pain.

And nope, it doesn’t wag.

Looking good inside and out

Named for the famous Arctic whales, whose horn is actually a huge tooth projecting from their foreheads, Narwhal the puppy is every bit as majestic as his namesake.

The cute unicorn puppy is a Facebook star and is quickly getting attention across the globe for his unique looks.

After Narwhal grows a bit, he will be put up for adoption. Fortunately, many are already interested in adopting this special guy.

Born this way
