This adorable real-life unicorn escaped and ran free and it was glorious

Last Wednesday, police in Madera Ranchos, California, got to say what was surely the most epic statement in law enforcement history: “The unicorn is in custody.”

The announcement came after hours of fielding 911 calls from residents claiming to see a unicorn running wild on the city’s streets. They dispatched a helicopter to search for the unicorn. For a while, it seemed like all of our unicorn-loving dreams had come true.

Alas, it was not an actual unicorn. (Siiiiiiigh.) It was, however, the next best thing. The runaway animal turned out to be an adorable white pony…a pony who happens to enjoy dressing up like a unicorn. The pony is named Juliet (awww) and belongs to professional photographer Sandra Boos, who bought the super cute animal for her five-year-old daughter, Tatum. Sandra and Tatum frequently play dress-up with Juliet, unicorn-style, with pink ribbons, flower wreaths and a horn (obvs). Pony-turned-unicorn-Juliet poses in a lot of Sandra’s photo shoots. Check out the magical cuteness!
