Get ready to meet the cute little Enzo! This Golden Retriever is very special. When you see his face, you'll understand. He's still a cutie, though!
Enzo joined his family when he was around 2 months old, and has always been just like any other puppy. He loves to play, meet new people, nap — and he also happens to have a rare genetic mutation.

“Golden retrievers are born with a base black coat, with a ‘modifier gene' that turns them golden,” Ella Castro, Enzo's mom, told The Dodo. “Almost every dog has this modifier. Enzo has a little stumble in his DNA that erased it on that one part of his face.”
Enzo's condition is not at all common, making him a very special little pup, and incredibly unique-looking for his breed.While he may be a rarity, Enzo has absolutely no idea that he's any different from any other dog. People are always curious about Enzo and his splotchy face, while Enzo just wants to befriend the entire world, no matter who they are or what they look like.
