Dr. Heuring commented that there is currently no reason to remove the unicorn tail, adding, “and we all wish it wagged.”
It seems the staff at Cape Small couldn’t resist showering this little guy with affection either! The unicorn face tail doesn’t seem to bother Narwhal at all, and he continues to live his life like any other playful puppy.
One person shared: “Honestly, the tail just makes him even cuter! And what great news that it’s not causing any trouble up there!” Another added: “He is destined for great things! I can feel it when I look at his little face, he’s adorable and awesome!”
Since being rescued, Narwhal has been thriving thanks to the dedication of the shelter. However, his journey hasn’t been without difficulties.
Shockingly, some people reacted negatively to the lovable pup, even attempting to break into the shelter to harm him. Rochelle Steffen, the shelter’s founder, revealed to Fox 35 in 2022 that some viewed him as an “abomination.”
To protect Narwhal, the shelter maintained tight security until Steffen, who had grown deeply attached to the puppy, decided to adopt him herself.
“He is the best,” Steffen shared, mentioning that Narwhal “loves to sleep under the covers” and enjoys exploring her backyard with her two other dogs. Now, he also serves as a ‘spokesdog’ for the shelter.
“He hates car rides but loves to go to events!” Steffen added, describing the cheerful dog as “rotten happy” these days. His unique tail remains intact since there’s no medical reason to remove it, ensuring this heartwarming story has a happy ending.
