A Stray Dog Who Kept Trying To Steal A Purple Unicorn From A Store Gets A Toy And A Forever Home

Dogs are man’s best friends, but who are dogs’ best friends? Stuffed purple unicorns, apparently. A story about this stray 1-year-old pit bull named Sisu went viral recently. Sisu tried to steal a stuffed unicorn multiple times from this Dollar General. The owners of the shop kept throwing him out, but Sisu was persistent and always came back, ran straight to the stuffed toy aisle, and grabbed the same unicorn every time.

The owners called animal control and when they came to take Sisu away, an officer named Samantha Lane bought the stuffed purple unicorn for the pupper. After that, Sisu gladly came with the officers.

    The dog could not be separated from his toy and spends every second with it. The shelter workers are guessing that it’s because Sisu either had a similar toy or his owners had one just like that. After Sisu’s post went viral, he and his favorite toy got adopted and found their forever home!

    After an animal control officer named Samantha Lane was called by the store’s owner, Sisu was taken to the shelter

    The people at the shelter then made a post about Sisu and his adventures in hopes that he will get adopted

    In the post, they wrote: “This is what happens when you break into the Dollar General consistently to steal the purple unicorn that you laid claim to but then get animal control called to lock you up for your B & E and larceny but the officer purchases your item for you and brings it in with you.”

    I am a Brazilian digital artist who loves transforming imagination into hyper-real visuals. I work with artificial intelligence and image editing to create what I always wondered as a child: how would our favorite characters look in real life? Over time, many of my artworks have gone viral and were featured in international publications. I have recreated realistic versions of cartoon characters such as Disney and The Simpsons, imagined how celebrities who died young would look today, and even gave modern faces to historical figures like Mona Lisa or Shakespeare. Beyond entertainment, I created Para Não Esquecer, a social project that revisits memorable criminal cases in Brazil. My goal is to honor victims, keep memory alive and remind society that justice and empathy matter. I also write for Bored Panda, where I create articles featuring artists, photographers, rescue stories and feel-good moments from around the world. My work aims to highlight creativity, kindness and emotional storytelling. In everything I do, my purpose is the same: to touch hearts, evoke emotion and make people feel something real.

    I wonder if anyone has ever made weighted plushies for pets. Some animals like sleeping in a group/with a pal for comfort. a weighted plushie filled with something like beans would calm them.

    Sisu is a Finnish word meaning resilience, courage, toughness, persistence, never giving up. I'd say that name fits this dog well! :)

    One of my friends has little dog who loves his stuffy. When Bear goes into the washing machine, Milo waits for Bear. Bear and Milo don't have kids, but it's not for lack of trying.

    I wish my dogs would love on a stuff animal like that. They are very anti stuffing and anti squeaker, so everything gets torn apart as they search for the dastardly stuffing and any offensive squeaking.
