What is a Lundehund? Lundehund means “puffin dog,” they were originally bred to hunt puffins on the rock-riddled coasts of Norway. The Lundehund is unique with its six toes and ability to turn its head 180 degrees, rotate their legs over their heads, and even lie completely flat, with all four legs sticking straight out to the sides. Cool huh?! Haven’t seen and heard anything like that before. There are 1,500 estimate number of Lundehunds in the world and only around 250 live in the United States. Take a look at this Videos of the Lundehunds.
