A Little Norwegian Lundehund

This is one ridiculously cute dog. Rista is a Norwegian Lundehund--a breed I'd never heard of. According to Wikipedia, they're polydactyl and bred to hunt puffins. They were first recognized by the AKC in 2007, so you'll see a lot more of these dogs at major dog shows.

These dogs are the rarest in the world. After World War II there were only 6 left. Today the dogs have come back to about 1500 in the world. They have 6 toes and are incredibly limber being able to lay flat on the ground with all four legs straight out and rotate their heads 180 degrees. All these attributes were extremely helpful to their job a puffin hunters.
