This Black Lab Is Slowly Turning White
When Reddit user eRadthorpe uploaded this picture to the Photoshop Battle subreddit, many could have been forgiven for thinking that it’s already a photo manipulation. After all, it’s not every day you see a 14-year-old black Labrador wearing what appears to be a white superhero mask.
But the cute dog has what’s known as vitiligo, a physically harmless condition where the skin (or in this case also the fur) slowly loses its pigment. And although the black lab looks tragi-comical enough already with this skin discoloration, it’s nothing compared to what it looked like once Reddit’s photo editing geniuses had finished with it.
