Meet Buster, a 4-year-old dog who has undergone a dramatic transformation, transitioning from a sleek black coat to a stunning white, all due to the skin condition known as vitiligo.
Vitiligo is a skin condition that causes depigmentation, leading to patches of skin, and in Buster’s case, fur, losing its color.
The fascinating progression of Buster’s transformation can be seen in the series of photos shared by his owner, showcasing the gradual change from black to white.

“Over time, he would lose his black fur, and new white fur would come in,” Buster’s owner explained. “There was a point in time where he was balding in areas until his fresh, fluffy white fur grew in.”
