Unicorn Puppy? - Catherine - 11-14-2019
Mac's Mission in Missouri has a rescue puppy with an unusual feature. He has a second tail growing on his face between his eyes.
It is a bit of a unicorn idea and it is cute. It doesn't wag like a regular tail and the puppy doesn't seem to notice it, but it is different.

I think the tiny little tail gives Narwhal a unique look. Lots of people want to adopt him because of it. The shelter is waiting to see if the tail causes problems. I wonder if he was born with it. I have never heard of anything like it. Until he is available for adoption I am sure there are lots of regular puppies that need good homes.

What an unusual feature!
It seems that little pup was born not knowing which end was which !
But so long as this "tail" doesn't grow more and he has no health problems from it or anything else, then he's good to go!
What a lovely little pup.
I also hope his time in "care" while they watch this growth doesn't cause him to be separated from the idea of a proper loving home, and social interactions? It would be a shame if his earliest formative memories were institutional ones.

I knew you would come up with a funny remark.
It is the oddest thing I have ever seen. I had a lizard with two tails once, but they were where a tail should be.
You are right. It would be good for the puppy to have the experience of a home. Even if Narwhal was fostered rather than adopted he would still be in a home. I understand them wanting to keep him around, but a shelter is not the best place for a puppy to grow up.
I hope he is at least in a home for Christmas. No pet should spend Christmas in a shelter.
