This Rescue Puppy Has A Tail Growing Out Of His Forehead

While most of us are fascinated with anything furry – bunnies, hamsters, cats, and doggos, of course, some of them are “doing us a fascinate” way bigger than others. Sure, everything they do is immensely cute: beg for pets by rolling over and putting their belly up, run around in all crazy manners, explore every corner of the house if it was something new every time they see it or simply wag their tail. But some special little snowflakes have been blessed with two of those tails! Today’s story is about one of them – a little unicorn pup that’s been born with an extra tail on his face. Imagine him trying to chase that!

More info: Mac’s Rescue

RELATED:

    This cutie is named Narwhal the Little Magical Furry Unicorn

    This cute little furball was found wandering in the cold along with another older dog by Mac’s Mission, an animal rescue in Jackson, Missouri. They instantly noticed it wasn’t just an ordinary puppy as he had an additional tail… Growing out of his forehead!

    He was born with a tail growing out of his forehead

    The extra tail reminded the rescuers of a unicorn’s horn, hence they decided to name the puppy Narwhal. To anyone unaware, narwhals are the real-life unicorns of this world or, to be precise, toothed whales with a large “tusk” pointing out of their heads like a unicorn’s horn.

    And for all those who are wondering, no, it doesn’t wag (sadly)

    Ever since Mac’s Mission animal rescue first posted pictures of Narwhal on their Facebook page, they have been overflooded with the question, “Does the puppy’s forehead tail wag?” Even though it would be really cute, his keepers said that the tail is actually idle and they have never seen it wag.

    Narwhal was found abandoned in the freezing cold along with an older dog

    Furthermore, when they took the pup to the vets, they concluded that his extra tail is actually not connected to anything and therefore has no real use to him. Dr. Heuring then jokingly added: “It appears they assembled the puppy wrong. Always follow the directions, people!”

    After inspecting his unicorn tail, the vet said it’s not connected to anything and has no real use

    There is no reason to remove Narwhal’s unicorn tail at this time as it doesn’t seem to bother the doggo the tiniest bit. He never slows down and is like any other normal puppy. The unicorn pup will be put up for adoption after he grows a bit more and his keepers can truly make sure the tail doesn’t start to bother him or become a problem.

    The tail doesn’t bother or slow down the adorable puppy in any way

    Seeing how the people of the Internet fell in love with him instantly, we are sure he will find a forever home in the blink of an eye!

    Other than his peculiar extra tail, Narwhal seems to be completely healthy

    People fell in love with him instantly

    They should just remove it, even if it doesn't bother him. This way you get a lot of people who want to adopt him just to get insta-famous, which isn't what he needs. There's no reason to leave the growth there.

    Agreed. I'd also be worried about it being a health hazard or at least a big inconvenience. Most humans wouldn't like a tail flopping around on the middle of their forehead.

    I've never seen a dog with a forehead tail before. Narwhal is adorable. Also I got a chuckle out of the Dr. joking that somebody assembled him incorrectly.

    Resorbed twin, or some kind of mole or something that happens to also sprout hair? He was probably abandoned because of it, which is sad because he’s so distinct, and has a great little personality to boot. Looks ain’t everything, people.

    Or the endgame of breeders in-breeding lines to the get 'perfection' they want... what we have done to breeds of dogs over the last hundred years is criminal.

    I hope the older dog was okay too, the unicorn tail was probably from bad breeding and was abandoned for not being "perfect" or "purebred" Like who cares? Yes, both my dogs are purebred, but either way, I would love their adorable and dumb selves.

    Sweet pupper. Sad thing; Now people are going to want a unicorn/Narwhal dog. I find breeding puppies very problematic at times.
