Some dogs just have insanely beautiful eyes. There are some breeds who are famous for it, while other dogs tend to have relatively normal eyes that sometimes don’t turn out as planned. While they’re all beautiful, it’s always those super rare eyes that get everyone talking.

For me, I personally love a dog with big brown eyes. There’s just something so special about them, especially when they sit right in the sunlight. Their eyes just become the prettiest pools of melted caramel, and there’s nothing like it!
Recently, one American Bully’s amazing eyes took everyone by surprise. They’re almost perfectly spotted with a very pretty amber color: they look like those peppermint candies in every candy dish!
Enzo the American Bully has some of the prettiest eyes I’ve ever seen in my life. They’re ready for the holidays, that’s for sure! He’s like the very definition of peppermint bark! According to his mom, he has a condition called Sectoral Heterochromia.
He’s a Merle boy, which means he has a spotted coat. He’s not Double Merle, though some people have speculated he must be because of his eyes. However, his mom says he can see perfectly well. Both of his eyes are in working order!

Having lighter eyes can make them more sensitive, but Enzo’s mom is careful to make sure that he never takes on too much. Other than his stunning eyes, Enzo is just a normal boy: he gets stopped wherever he goes, though. That’s what happens when your eyes look like candy!
In the sunlight, his eyes are seriously amazing:
In addition to Enzo being a beautiful dog, he’s also an awesome sibling. He has several of them, and he’s the voice of reason… Most of the time.
More About Sectoral Heterochromia
Sectoral Heterochromia is a condition that causes the iris to be splotchy. Any dog can technically have this harmless genetic condition, though some dogs, like those who have the Merle gene, are more likely to have it.
Though the condition is genetic, it’s not hereditary: just because a dog’s Merle parent had it doesn’t mean their puppy will. It just happens sometimes, and when it does, it is so beautiful!
