This is Dot. She has vitiligo, a rare genetic condition that causes skin and fur to lose pigment. Her transformation started just before she turned 3, and she was completely white by 6. Fortunately, vitiligo doesn't pose health risks to dogs, and Dot pulls off her unique new look wonderfully. 14/10

What a stunning little girl she is
Although fur usually does a good job of that.
But It won’t change anything. Her skin will lose pigmentation and this, because fur takes on the color of the skin underneath it, her fur will still lose pigmentation as well.
But it won’t stop vitiligo from progressing, and I was talking about where they have white fur.
