A stray dog that went viral over his dogged determination to make a best friend of a stuffed unicorn at a North Carolina store is set to be adopted.

Officials say the dog, named Sisu, tried multiple times to swipe a stuffed unicorn from a Dollar General store in Duplin County, according to the county’s animal services department.

“Sisu. The dog who broke into a Dollar General Store 5 times to steal the same purple unicorn—the same exact one,” local photographer Shannon Johnstone posted on Facebook. “Not others like it near by, but that one in particular.”

Sisu had set his sights on the purple unicorn with a red, sparkly horn and hooves, so persistently that animal control was called to remove him.

3. He has been adopted.

The animal control officer bought the unicorn for him, and Dollar General sent him and his new family some spares. I'd say that's about as good an ending as you can get.

4. It has one, check the link. Sisu was already looking happy at the shelter

with his purple unicorn before he was adopted. The animal control officer didn't want him to go there without it.

Smile-maker story, FakeNoose. Thank you.

Every cool kid has one.

8. I don't know if he has been adopted, the rescue I volunteer for just put out an email that they

are taking him into our system. He still needs to be neutered. https://people.com/pets/unicorn-toy-dog-returns-to-dollar-general-before-adoption/?fbclid=IwAR0ha76nvf7e7NKVUur1kf9ESlgCYVOpxtiY6E1FZ4RRcjuGY_8BUjVTYkQ

10. Just to let everybody know, they just brought Sisu into the rescue today

So he has NOT been adopted yet, but will be soon. With all his publicity, I'm sure Sisu and his Unicorn will be adopted.
