Enzo joined his family when he was around two months old and has always been like any other pooch. His Instagram bio reads that he loves to nap, take a long-walk, snuggle with the hoomans, play, and he also happens to have a rare genetic mutation. Despite being a golden retriever, a breed that typically sports a coat of one colour, Enzo was born with a large black splotch around one of his eyes and down the side of his face. According to reports, the splotch is caused by a rare disorder called a pigmented somatic cell mutation. Dog Waits on Bridge After Owner Jumps Off It in China, Other Such Instances of Dog's Loyalty Towards Their Hoomans That Prove Why They Are Man's Best Friend.

If a pigment somatic mutation takes place during the development of the embryo, patches of another colour appear on the animal. This is often seen as black patches on Labradors and Golden Retrievers breeds. Enzo’s condition is not all common, making him a very special and incredibly unique-looking doggo for his breed. Two Dog BFFs Talking to Each Other via Video Conferencing Call Amid the Pandemic Goes Viral.
