We have all heard the saying, "you learn something new every day."
Today, I learned that puppies can grow a tail on their heads.
Call him a unicorn or a miracle or just a lucky dog -- but Narwhal, a Dachshund and Beagle mix puppy, is at Mac's Mission Animal Rescue in Jackson, Missouri.
The founder of the joint, Rochelle Steffen, says prospective owners need not worry about Narwhal's extra appendage -- "He had x-rays and a vet visit (Tuesday) and is a perfectly healthy puppy, with an extra tail on his face."
She adds the foretail doesn't require surgery, and doesn't seem to be giving him any harm at the moment.
All I have to say is little Narwhal is awesome!
