Eight months ago or so, my brother and his girlfriend found a little dog running loose. He's an older dog. He had just been shaved, he had a scab running all the way around his neck from an embedded collar having been ripped out, and his teeth were so rotten that you could see the roots all the way to the tip on some of them.

After not finding any owners (not that they looked terribly hard given the state he was in) they had him neutered, his rotten teeth pulled, and he's loving the good life. He's eating EVO canned food, cuddling with two other dogs, and generally being spoiled rotten.

Now, his bill of health from the vet has come back clean. He's had two blood panels run (one for the neuter, one for the teeth), and he seems to be overall in great shape. Except one little thing....most of his fur isn't coming back. He's got tufts of luxuriously silky black fur, and a little "cape" of it grew back in around his neck. The rest of him has retained the freshly shaved look. He's got some coarse brown fuzz, but it's the same length it was the day they found him. He had razor lines and some razor burns the day he was found, so we know it was shaved off and he hasn't always been like this.

What would cause this to be all of the hair growth he's regained in eight months??





Boris doesn't care. He knows he's adorable. See what he has to say to everyone who comments about his hair at the dog park?



I've never met another dog so lovable. If there ever comes a day when my brother and his gf can't keep him (yeah right, they're practically glued together!) I'll take him in a heartbeat. He even loves the kitties.
