[WATCH] Stray Dog Keeps Stealing A Purple Stuffed 🦄 Unicorn At A Dollar Store
Dogs may be man’s best friend, but apparently, a purple stuffed unicorn — is a dog’s best friend.
Animal control officers were called to a North Carolina Dollar General store after a stray dog kept coming into the store and beelining for the toy aisle. Each time the stray dog made it in, 5 times in total in a several day period, he went to grab the same plush purple unicorn toy.
Finally, they had to lock the door and called animal control.
Samantha Lane, the officer who responded to the Dollar General store’s call, was so taken with the dog’s devotion to the unicorn that she bought the $10 toy for the dog. The dog was happy to head off with Sam once he had his beloved stuffed animal.
Sam brought the dog to a shelter, where workers named him Sisu after the dragon cartoon character in Disney’s new film, Raya and the Last Dragon.
Thankfully Sisu has found his forever home already.
Dollar General plans to send a “few extra purple unicorns for the adoptive family,” a thank you gift to animal control officer Lane, and a pet food donation to this animal shelter too.
