Black Dog Turns Completely White With Vitiligo
Aug 6 2024 Share

Buster, a four-year-old dog from Oklahoma, experienced a dramatic colour transformation due to vitiligo, turning from black to completely white over two and a half years.

Vitiligo is a condition that causes pale patches to develop on the skin, famously affected Michael Jackson and can also affect animals.

His owner, Matt Smith, shared photos of Buster’s transformation on Reddit, which quickly went viral.

Vitiligo occurs when pigment cells are destroyed, affecting skin, fur, and hair. The cause is unclear, but it’s believed to involve disruption in melanin production, which gives skin and hair its color. Despite the striking change in appearance, vitiligo is painless for pets, and Buster is not experiencing any discomfort.

Buster’s transformation began with white patches near his mouth and chin, eventually spreading across his entire body.

Although vitiligo is rare, affecting less than one percent of dogs, other pet owners have shared similar experiences on Reddit. Vitiligo typically starts in young adulthood, often appearing first on the face.

There is no treatment to restore pigmentation, but pets with vitiligo live normal, healthy lives. Buster’s story has captivated many, drawing comparisons to Michael Jackson and highlighting the unique beauty of animals with this condition.

Czech tennis duo Katerina Siniakova and Tomas Machac celebrated their Olympic mixed doubles gold with a kiss, sparking speculation of a romantic reunion.

The pair had broken up just weeks before during the Prague Open, ending a relationship that began in 2020. Despite their personal issues, they remained committed to competing together in the Olympics, with Siniakova emphasizing their professionalism.

In the final, they triumphed over China’s Zhang Zhizhen and Wang Xinyu, winning 6-2, 5-7, 10-8. Fans reacted enthusiastically to the on-court kiss, with many joking that their Olympic success could rekindle their relationship.

The couple had previously supported each other’s careers, with Siniakova, a top doubles player, already holding multiple Grand Slam titles.

Despite the breakup, they maintained a positive atmosphere during the tournament, even humorously noting that their “chemistry is very good.”

Machac mentioned that they have been sleeping separately in the Olympic village but continue to share friendly interactions. Whether the Olympic victory will lead to a reconciliation remains uncertain, as the pair has chosen to stay private about their personal lives.
