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

ADVERTISEMENT

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.

This pupper named Sisu decided he needed a friend, so he tried to steal this unicorn plushie from a store

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!

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.”

There are many posts about strays on Bored Panda. So if Sisu’s story wasn’t enough for you here is a story about a stray that wandered into a vet clinic and asked for help.

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.

Totally understandable. Sometimes you just need a stuffed unicorn to cuddle with. Glad this good boi found a home!

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.

What kind of heartless POS would not gift the pup what he loved so much? Special place in hell, a-hole.

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.

I wonder if it is what is In the stuffed animal that the smell attracts the dog

He’s beautiful 😍 I noticed he’s not even chewed the toy up, like he just wants it for comfort. So happy for him and his new owners. So many of these breeds get treated so badly by ignorant people who just want a tuff looking breed
