10+ Animals Whose Fur Patterns Will Make You Look Twice

7.A Stunning Canine With Vitiligo

Heidi, the lovely dog with vitiligo, is a terrific example of how this autoimmune condition shows itself in dogs. Vitiligo is a condition that is relatively well-known in humans, but Heidi's case is quite unique and beautiful because of how it affects canines. The condition makes certain sections of skin and hair lose pigment, which has produced an astonishing pattern on Heidi's face, with ghost-white parts that stand out dramatically from her typical fur color.

The vitiligo has made her appearance even more interesting by giving her face emotional expressiveness with what appears like distinct eyebrow-like markings. This natural event reveals that what some people would think of as a medical condition can really make an animal seem better instead of worse. The white flecks on Heidi's fur make her seem like a marble, which makes her stand out among her dog buddies. Her condition draws attention to vitiligo in both people and animals, yet her pretty face still makes people happy and makes them reassess what is considered beautiful.
