A puppy with a tail on its head has been called a ‘magical unicorn’ after rescuers found him.
The adorable pooch named Narwhal the Little Magical Furry Unicorn was found by a rescue organization, Mac’s Mission, in Missouri.
“The extra tail is not connected to anything and has no real use other than making him the COOLEST PUPPY EVER!” Mac’s Mission said.
Narwhal, who was with an older dog, was seen with a foot injury.
The rescue group said that if the tail starts causing any problems, they will remove it when Narwhal is “old enough and healthy to endure a surgery.”
Mac’s Mission wrote on Facebook: “Normally if one of our pups issues are completely cosmetic we do not do surgery.”
Dr. Brian Heuring, a veterinarian at Cape Small Animal Clinic, checked the pup and said there is no “real reason at this time for the unicorn tail to be removed.”
Rochelle Steffen, founder of the rescue center, said to PA news agency: “He’s literally the most magical thing you’ve ever seen, and so happy.
“Everybody wants to see him. I’ve had so many volunteers have come over and said “Hey, can we play with Narwhal?” And it’s now become the thing to take selfies with him because he’s just so cute.”
She added: “We don’t want to adopt him out and two weeks later it does become a problem.
“Everyone sees him and they literally want to rip him out of my arms immediately.
“It’s been really good for our itty-bitty rescue to have such a rock star in our midst because all this attention is helping so many of our other dogs. He loves it, he’s like, ‘who’s going to hold me next?’
“He’s just this little anomaly that’s absolutely perfect.”
