What reality is hiding behind that cute dog’s face? He wasn’t born that way. What did happen to him? A sad story about Jackie.
This amazing and strange dog is hard to miss. She will love playing with you too. She is always happy and busy because that’s how she was born. Others, though, don’t know what that cute dog smile means.
For a long time, the owners kept quiet because they wanted to keep it a secret. But then they chose to tell everyone about it so that everyone could know and come to the right conclusions.
What is she doing?
She didn’t stand out at all when she was very little. Still, the dog’s nose was always darker than the rest of its body. In their minds, everything was within normal limits. But when Jackie was 2, she started to change a lot. Her hair got lighter in big spots, and she became less good at navigating in space.
The professional advice and views were at odds with each other. Initially, they treated her for allergies, then for something else, but later they found that the animal had a genetic flaw. Later, when the owners found out the terrible truth about the dog seller, this was partly proven. He did break the rules to get a lot of money for it, and now no one knows where Jackie came from. The dog started to go blind at the same time, and the spots got worse.
Once the vets made the identification, it was clear that this disease was very uncommon. Basically, the dog’s defense cells started to “work” against its body. They slowly kill off other genes in the area around the mouth. Because of these cells “rising,” the coat’s color is thrown off, and light-sensitive cells are hurt. Feeling sad after seeing this?
Today, there are no treatments, just like there aren’t any for cancer. Injections are the only way to slow down the activity of these “unruly” cells. This is what Jackie’s folks do naturally.
They just want you to know that there are many diseases that can’t be cured. But that doesn’t mean you should just wait for your pet to die. Love them and pay attention to them!
