The Story Behind The Dog Born With An Extra Tail is Astonishing

This perfectly healthy puppy has the slightest abnormality. He happens to have an extra tail. But this physical feature isn’t on his bum, it’s on his head.

The woman who rescued him actually saved his life, and were it not for the attention he received for his extra tail, he (and a few other dogs) might not be here today.

Not Your Ordinary Puppy

Narwhal is the cutest of rescue puppies who happens to have something the other rescue puppies don’t— an extra tail. This wouldn’t be such a huge deal if it wasn’t for the placement of his extra tail. It’s on his head.

It Makes Him Rare

While this doesn’t take away from his functionality as a pup, it sure does bring a lot of extra attention his way. He’s just a 10-week-old ball of cuteness who happens to have a special physical feature no other puppy has.

Thanks to Miracle Workers

Narwhal was rescued by Mac’s Mission, a nonprofit that focuses on helping pups with special needs. They got their start with a 4 pound, 3-month-old pup named Mac who ended up having some pretty serious genetic complications.

So, a nonprofit in honor of pups like Mac was created and has given thousands to animals in need.

Her Friends Knew Before Anyone Else Did

Rochelle Steffen is the founder of Mac’s Mission over in Jackson. Narwhal has been in her care since a few of her friends tagged her in a Facebook post of a pair of abandoned dogs.

Her friends knew this pup was the kind of special that only Rochelle knew how to take care of.
