Golden Retriever Was Born With A Rare Genetic Mutation, And It Made Him Incredibly Adorable

Enzo is one special dog – and not just because he is adorably cute and impossible to resist. He is also special because of his rare condition called pigmented somatic cell mutation. It doesn’t cause him any health problems – this mutation only led to a black marking appearing on his face.

His owner, Ella Castro, told media that: “Golden retrievers are born with a base black coat, with a ‘modifier gene’ that turns them golden. Almost every dog has this modifier. Enzo has a little stumble in his DNA that erased it on that one part of his face.”

In his Instagram account, Enzo is described as “English Cream with a lil Freckle. Pro napper, sock [thiever], long-walk taker, kiss giver, fuzzy snuggler.”


Enzo (who’s full name is Lorenzo deMedici Splotch Viola) is a golden retriever. For this breed of dogs, it is typical to have an even color of fur, which makes this good boy very special.

“He loves to greet joggers and bikers and other dogs, and definitely seems to take personal offense any time anyone is too busy to say hello,” the owner added.

Watch: Life Inside the Largest Aircraft Carrier in the World, Costing $13 Billion, in the Middle of the Ocean

Image
Welcome back to the FLUCTUS channel for a feature of the Gerald R Ford Class, the world’s biggest aircraft carrier at sea. With a full load displacement of 100,000t and the 78m-wide flight deck, this amazing warship has the capacity to carry more than 75 aircraft and accommodate 4,539 personnel, including the ship’s company, air wing and other support staff. A carrier strike group is huge, consisting of roughly 7500 personnel. 1 Aircraft Carrier, 2 Guided Missile Cruisers, 2 Anti-Aircraft Warships, and 1-2 Anti-Submarine Destroyers or Frigates. 65 – 70 aircraft. Now multiply that by 11 for the US Navy alone. Maybe one day we’ll be able to spend all these billions of dollars toward something which isn’t for national defense, until then, I’m glad we’re able to do so. I was on the Oriskany and Ticonderoga between 66 and 69. Both ships had one enlisted mess. I remember during non flight days, it was get in line all day long. 2000 or so crew members waiting to get fed in a 3...

Abandoned Cat Is Adopted And He Can’t Stop Kissing His New Owner

Image
I am always saddened when we get a call at the shelter about an abandoned animal, but I’m also glad that I can help. In this story, a rescue center worker thanked the people who called them and did their best to rescue this cat.  Valentino was left on the street but luckily, a kind shelter worker found and rescued him.  This shabby orange cat was left on the street, presumably after his owners moved away. The shelter workers first thought he was a female cat because he was extremely malnourished and also neutered. The shelter worker that saved him says: “He just allowed to be picked up and he wasn’t moving. So it’s worse than I thought!” When they got to the veterinary clinic, the cat had a temperature, and as they examined him it was visible how skinny he was. His fur was shabby and he had patches of skin showing.  The vet examined him and his big forehead abscess.  He was in pretty ...
