Enzo was born with a disorder called pigmented somatic cell mutation which has given him a large black splotch (his ‘lil freckle’ as his family calls it) over the side of his face.

Luckily for Enzo, the condition is not dangerous or harmful, it simply affects the pattern of his coat.

Golden Retrievers are born with a base black coat, and a ‘modifier gene’ is what turns them golden. Enzo is missing that particular gene in his DNA, and that’s the reason why part of his face is black.

Check out the pictures down below and watch how Enzo proves that it’s our imperfections that make us perfect.

Enzo’s freckle makes him unique.

Uniquely cute, that is!

But even though he looks a bit different from other goldens, he’s not so different on the inside.

He loves playing and goofing off with his parents. Here he’s in the middle of a tug of war!

Enzo’s freckle isn’t the only thing that makes him special. He’s also very big for his age.

But he’s still just a little puppy inside.

Hmm… did he get more freckles!? No, he’s just been playing in the mud!
