Dogs may be man's best friends, but for Sisu, a stray dog, the unicom (独角兽) is his best friend.
Recently, Sisu broke into a store in North Carolina five times, trying to steal the same purple unicorn toy. But every time he got it, a salesman would find him, take the toy away and put it back on the shelf. When it turned out that Sisu wouldn't give up, the salesman had to lock the door and not let Sisu in, and then called Duplin County Animal Services for help.
Samantha Lane, the officer who answered the call, was so moved by Sisu's love for the unicorn that she bought the $10 toy for the dog.
"The only thing we can think of is that he came from a family that had a similar toy or had children who had one," said Joe Newbum, a director of Duplin County Animal Services.
"It's a nice dog," Newbum added. "He likes to play and he is very smart. He sits, stays and shakes hands. He is very polite."
And whoever is lucky enough to adopt (收养) Sisu will get two best friends for the price of one. According to the Facebook post from Duplin County Animal Services, Sisu and his stuffed animal have already had an adopter.
