A 10-week-old abandoned puppy with a secondary tail, in the middle of his head, has been taken in by an animal rescue centre in Missouri.
Staff at Mac's Mission, which is predominantly for animals with special needs, have called the puppy Narwhal.
They had been told there was "no medical need to remove" the extra tail as it caused him no pain, they said.
And the popularity of photos of Narwhal on Facebook had helped raise awareness of the rescue centre's work.
Rochelle Steffen, who runs Mac's Mission, named after a pit-bull terrier she rescued seven and a half years ago, told BBC News Narwhal "is in no pain and plays for hours".
Awww... this looks wrong, but cute at the same time, if you know what I mean.
I'm glad the extra tail isn't causing him any discomfort at the moment, but I do hope it won't be responsible for any health issues later in life!
