Enzo is a Golden Retriever puppy much like any other—friendly, silly, and cuddly—but a unique genetic abnormality sets him apart from the pack.
Enzo has a massive black spot over the side of his face, which his family refers to as his “little freckle,” due to a condition called pigmented somatic cell mutation, which he was born with. Fortunately for Enzo, the illness just affects the pattern of his coat and is neither hazardous or dangerous.
A “modifier gene” gives golden retrievers their characteristic golden color; otherwise, they are born with a black coat. Enzo has a portion of his face that is black since he lacks that specific gene in his Genome.
Enzo has a distinctive appearance due to his “birthmark,” and he loves it. We can understand why he’s swiftly gaining popularity on Instagram under the name mister.enzoviola. That gorgeous face is impossible to resist.
See how Enzo demonstrates that it is our flaws that make us perfect in the images below.
