Meet Narwhal, the rescue puppy with a tail on his forehead

来看看独角鲸,这只额头上长着尾巴的救援小狗

When the volunteers at an animal rescue in Missouri discovered a tiny brown puppy in the freezing cold in early November, he had an extra-special part. The little guy was sporting a little brown tail on his forehead, right between his eyes.

11月初,密苏里州动物救援组织的志愿者们在严寒中发现了一只小小的棕色小狗,它身上有一个特别的部位。这个小家伙的前额上,就在两眼之间,有一条棕色的小尾巴。

Other than the beginnings of frostbite on one paw, the 10-week-old pup was healthy and happy, reports Mac's Mission, a nonprofit that focuses on special needs dogs. Of course, they named him Narwhal. Or "Narwhal the Little Magical Furry Unicorn."

关注特殊需求犬的非营利组织Mac's Mission称,除了一只爪子开始出现冻伤外,这只10周大的小狗健康快乐。当然,他们叫他独角鲸。或者“独角兽,神奇的小毛毛独角兽。”

Unlike the narwhal "unicorn of the sea" which is a marine mammal with a horn that's actually a long, straight canine front tooth, this puppy's extra tail is soft and short and only flops around when he plays. He has another real tail located on his bottom which wags furiously when he's happy — which he always is, the rescue says.

独角兽是一种海洋哺乳动物,它的角实际上是一颗又长又直的犬齿。与独角兽不同的是,这只小狗多出来的尾巴又软又短,只有在玩耍的时候才会拖来拖去。它的屁股上还有一条真正的尾巴,当它高兴的时候,尾巴就会猛烈地摆动——它总是这样,救护人员说。

Narwhal went to the veterinarian for a checkup and X-rays show that there's no reason right now to have the extra tail removed.

独角鲸去兽医那里做了检查,x光片显示现在没有理由把多余的尾巴切除。

"The million dollar question about Narwhal's extra tail on his face. Is it connected and does it wag? The extra tail is not connected to anything and has no real use other than making him the COOLEST PUPPY EVER!," the rescue posted on Facebook. "One of our followers said, 'It appears they assembled the puppy wrong. Always follow the directions people!'... The unicorn face tail does not bother Narwhal and he never slows down just like any normal puppy."

关于独角鲸脸上多出来的尾巴,这可是个大问题。它连接了吗?它摇摆了吗?额外的尾巴没有连接到任何东西,没有真正的用途,除了使他成为最酷的小狗!救援人员在Facebook上写道。“我们的一个追随者说,‘看来他们把小狗组装错了。总是按照指示行事!”独角兽的脸尾不会打扰独角鲸,它也不会像其他正常的小狗一样慢下来。”

Although he seems healthy, the rescue said it wanted to keep an eye on him to make sure the tail doesn't become an issue.

虽然它看起来很健康,但救援人员表示,他们希望密切关注它,确保它的尾巴不会成为问题。

As the rescue pointed out, "Sometimes there are other genetic factors in cases like these so we are being super cautious and want to ensure he has everything he needs. We will do whatever is best for our little Narwhal."

正如救援人员指出的那样,“有时这种情况下还有其他遗传因素,所以我们非常谨慎,希望确保他拥有一切所需。”为了我们的小独角鲸,我们什么都愿意做。”

People all over the country reached out to the rescue, offering to give the unique puppy a home. Although he received more than 300 adoption applications, Narwhal is going to stay with the rescue.

全国各地的人们伸出援手,为这只独一无二的小狗提供了一个家。尽管收到了300多份收养申请,独角鲸还是会继续留在救援队伍中。

Trying to sift through all those applications and making sure the adopters had the best intentions for the high-profile puppy was difficult, Mac’s Mission’s founder Rochelle Steffen told Southeast Missourian. Plus, the friendly puppy attracted some scary attention, including death threats. Those factors made her decide to keep him.

Mac慈善机构的创始人罗谢尔·斯特芬在接受美国密苏里州东南部网站东南网采访时说,想要对所有的申请进行筛选,并确保收养者对这只备受瞩目的小狗有良好的意愿是很困难的。另外,这只友好的小狗引起了一些可怕的注意,包括死亡威胁。这些因素使她决定留下他。

"The whole rescue cannot fathom him leaving. We all fell in love with him," she said. “If somebody is going to make money off of him, I would love to see it go toward the rescue, and save thousands more dogs.”

“整个救援行动都无法想象他会离开。我们都爱上了他,”她说。“如果有人想从它身上赚钱,我希望看到它被用于救援,拯救更多的狗。”

The playful pup has certainly been popular with fans as thousands of followers have shared, liked and gushed over his videos and donated to the rescue in his honor.

这只顽皮的小狗当然很受粉丝们的欢迎,成千上万的粉丝在他的视频上分享、点赞、畅所欲言,并为他的救援行动捐款。

"Right now he is pretty much the most unique amazing example of what we do here and we are so thankful to have the chance to be part of his journey," the rescue posted. "Thank you everyone for helping us help them!"

“现在,他几乎是我们在这里所做的事情中最独特、最令人惊叹的一个例子,我们非常感谢能有机会参与他的旅程,”救援人员在帖子中写道。“谢谢大家帮助我们!”
