CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. - A 10-week-old golden retriever was born with a tail on his forehead, garnering adoration on social media and a fitting nickname: “puppercorn.”

Over the weekend, the puppy was found after being abandoned, said Rochelle Steffen, from Mac’s Mission in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, who is fostering the “puppercorn” named Narwhal.

“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!” said Mac’s Mission in a Facebook post on the puppy.

This is from the strange but true files. I'm more of a cat person myself but I have to admit golden retrievers are pretty darn cute -even if he has a tail on his head!

We had to put our 14 year old golden to sleep on July. They are a great breed! I would love to adopt this sweet puppy. What a cutie!

The bioscience behind body geography in suuuper early embroylogy is pretty amazing:

It has come along enough with fruit flies that they can get —I mean consistendly INDUCE— fly leg formation on their head, or head on their a$$, etc.

Almost like a Rubic’s Cube.

Amazing and kind of scary.

Maybe it accounts for Helen Thomas.

Such Golden Retrievers are known for their large piles of Skittles they leave in the yard once full grown.

Not something one wants to track into the house.

Never be blamed for chasing his tail. That’s an excuse worth having.

If you walk them in the woods, they’re happy to poop there.

Nothing, I repeat ***NOTHING*** in the natural world accounts for that swamp creature known as Helen Thomas.

Goldens are the perfect combination of smarts, lovability, and goofiness.

a fitting nickname: “puppercorn.”

Why is this a "fitting" nickname?

Take it off. Looks like he will go cross eyed looking at it all the time.

Legs on their heads and heads on their a$$es is what the flies look like AFTER I smack them with the fly swatter!
