Narwhal's Remarkable Arrival
In Cape Girardeau, Missouri, a remarkable pup named Narwhal, a 10-week-old golden retriever, stands out from the pack. What sets him apart is a unique feature – a cute "unicorn" tail that sprouts from his brow. Narwhal's journey to a loving home begins with a heartwarming rescue story.
Last week, Narwhal and another dog were discovered outdoors, exposed to extreme weather conditions. Rochelle Steffen, the founder of Mac’s Mission, quickly stepped in to rescue Narwhal upon hearing about the special pup's plight. She shared, "We were tagged in a social media call for aid because he was exceptional and had been dumped." Steffen's compassionate heart is drawn to challenging cases, and she didn't hesitate to offer help.
When Steffen first laid eyes on Narwhal, it was an instant connection. She recalls, "I melted. I honestly grinned so much because his happiness lights up the entire room." Narwhal's enthusiasm is contagious, with his tail wagging non-stop – although it's his butt tail that's doing the wagging; his face tail, not so much.
Narwhal's extra tail is a rare congenital abnormality, measuring about one-third the size of his regular tail. X-rays reveal that this extra appendage is made of skin and hair, unattached to anything else. Steffen describes it as hanging down like a strand of Superman's hair.
Despite this unusual feature, Narwhal is in excellent health, except for a minor case of worms that can be easily treated with medication. The good news is, there's currently no medical reason to remove his extra tail, and it doesn't affect him in any way. As Steffen puts it, "He has no idea he's unique."
Narwhal is now living at Steffen's home and is enjoying the company of humans, as well as playing with other dogs. He has a particular fondness for an adult dog he was rescued with and an adorable Chihuahua mix named Ash. They engage in lively play sessions, bringing joy and energy into their daily routines.
A Journey to a Forever Home
In a few months, Narwhal will embark on his quest to find a forever home. Steffen, for now, keeps a watchful eye on him to ensure that his unique tail doesn't hinder his ability to enjoy life to the fullest.
