Why do people make anything up on the internet? Attention maybe? Because they can? I don't know why. But if there is one thing we should have learned by now it's don't trust everything you see on the internet. There's a lot of pretty creative and talented people out there. Not all of them are doing good things with that talent.
LOL!! I didn't say anything about anything else on the internet. I was talking specifically about this one thing. It does not take much to read through the discussion and view the pics he posted. It appears to be genuine. It would be silly to dismiss every single thing - is that what you do, simply because there is a lot of garbage and nonsense out there?
I clicked your link and got tons of overlappng ads that pushed me to another website.
It's known for being a clickbait rag. I don't know why people keep posting stories from places like this and the Daily Mail when many articles aren't completely truthful.

While we would all be better off if we started out skeptical, I don't dismiss every single thing. I do dismiss things that don't look or sound right. Vitiligo, reported on actual medical and veterinary sites, involves loss of SKIN pigment, that can also involve hair pigment. The pictures in the story are of completely black skinned dogs with varying hair color. Since hair color is pretty easy to change, either in real life or in pictures, and the pattern doesn't look like actual cases of the disease, I'm skeptical. And I've also invested all the time I am going to invest in this... It really doesn't matter one way or the other, except in mentioning the value in learning to be a little more than skin-deep in our observations.

"the value in learning to be a little more than skin-deep in our observations."
Which I know well. I probably spend more time looking up crap that people post than anyone else here.

I did... I see no patches of pink skin in those pics of this dog.
I don't have the expertise, time or resources to prove this one way or the other, I just think it's fair to note that this dog doesn't look anything like any of the other pictures I've ever seen of this malady. If you look it up on veterinary or medical sites or google it, the color loss does usually appear in particular patterns that don't look like this.
Take my opinion on this for the value you paid for it. After all, it's just opinions on a forum. So... I might add, is the OP's post from Reddit.
