Sharing his story on Reddit, user @fligglebits posted a photo of his new pet and described how he came to adopt the pup.
Unknown owner
Despite the dog appearing well-fed and cared for, efforts to locate its previous owners were unsuccessful, leading @fligglebits to take him in.
The dog quickly adapted to his new home and gets along well with the children. However, what grabs everyone's attention is his tail, which curls into a complete circle.
This peculiarity doesn't seem to bother the dog, but it remains a mystery to his new owner.
Possible genetic trait
Reddit users offered their insights, suggesting the curled tail could be a genetic trait common in certain breeds like the Akita. @fligglebits mentioned in the comments that he had a genetic test done to identify the breed of his new companion.
According to Redditors, dogs with curly tails can serve various purposes. They might help with balance, communication, and emotional expression or simply be a genetic feature.
Have you ever seen a dog with a tail like this?
