Owner Notices Bernese Mountain Dog Changing Color, Reason Goes Viral
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A Bernese mountain dog with vitiligo has melted hearts online with his unusual appearance. With their black-and-brown fur, Bernese mountain dogs have very distinctive markings that make them instantly recognizable. But one adorable pup, named Bauer, certainly stands out after losing his regular markings and developing an almost-entirely white fur coat instead. Bauer has vitiligo, an uncommon skin condition among humans and animals that causes skin to lose its natural pigmentation. As vitiligo develops, it progressively destroys the melanocytes and causes the affected area to turn white or pink. A dog's fur covering the affected skin may also turn white, as in Bauer's case. Although he has a different appearance, Bauer refuses to let his condition get him down. From left: Bauer the Bernese Mountain dog is seen before losing his markings. From left: Bauer the Bernese Mountain dog is seen before losing his markings. @bauerthebmd / TikTok His owner, from Twin Cities, Minnesota, shared an adorable post on the dog's dedicated TikTok account (@bauerthebmd) showing the gradual progression of his vitiligo. The slideshow of images shows Bauer as a puppy with seemingly no signs of the condition. The next image shows him fully grown with minor white patches dotted around his face, which soon developed into a face covered in white fur. As the condition progressed, Bauer was left with a white face, white legs, and a trunk that is a mixture of black-and-white fur. By now, Bauer has lost almost all his pigmentation and is almost entirely white. Parts of his front legs still hold the rich brown color, but he has lost all of his usual markings. Indeed, his owner said that he's "not a Great Pyrenees," despite looking remarkably like one. Since the slideshow was shared online on May 13, it has gone viral with over 472,000 views and more than 64,000 likes on TikTok at the time of writing. There are two types of vitiligo: focal, which affects only one area; and generalized, which causes white patches across the body. The condition will usually spread to its full extent within three to six months of the first appearance, according to PetMD. From left: Bauer the Bernese mountain dog rests outdoors. From left: Bauer the Bernese mountain dog rests outdoors. @bauerthebmd / TikTok It is thought that most cases of vitiligo in pets are hereditary, PetMD suggests, but breeds at a higher risk of developing it include rottweilers, dachshunds, golden retrievers, Labradors, German shepherds, and German shorthaired pointers. Internet users can't get enough of Bauer's extraordinary appearance, which has led to almost 300 comments on the viral TikTok post. One comment reads: "Bro switched up, he's a Great Pyrenees now." Another TikTok user wrote: "Your Bernese identifies as a golden retriever." A third person posted: "He ran out of ink!" A fourth commenter added: "I've never seen vitiligo spread across the whole body before, so cool! He's a stunner!" Newsweek has contacted @bauerthebmd via TikTok for comment. We could not verify the details of the case. Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share? We want to see the best ones! Send them in to life@ and they could appear on our site.

Former Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer challenges Lindsey Graham in SC Senate race
Former South Carolina Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer is now in the race to oust U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham. Bauer said in a news release Wednesday morning that he is running for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate, launching a primary challenge of the state's senior senator who reported he had more than $15 million in the bank at the end of last quarter. 'Lindsey Graham has lost his way, and South Carolinians deserve a true conservative fighter to represent them in the United States Senate – 100% guaranteed,' Bauer said in a statement. Bauer's formal entry into the primary race was first reported by The Associated Press. Bauer already has a WinRed fundraising page that includes a photo of him with President Donald Trump. Bauer's campaign news release touts that he was an early supporter of the president in 2016, and 'has stood firmly with Trump on every issue, including the border, the economy and draining the swamp.' The campaign also points to how Graham has had public disagreements with Trump, despite the senator and the president being frequent golfing partners and allies. 'The people of South Carolina are fed up with Lindsey Graham and are ready for a much-needed change,' Bauer said. Graham, who was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 2002, has a 34% approval rating among all South Carolinians. Among Republicans he is at 55%, according to a poll released in May by Winthrop University. The Palmetto State's senior senator has faced primary challenges before, and multiple challengers helped split the anti-Graham vote. Since being elected to the Senate, Graham has clinched the nomination in each of his reelection campaigns without the need to go to a runoff. Graham's reelection also has been endorsed by Trump, who is popular among the Republican voting base in South Carolina. Graham also is being supported by Gov. Henry McMaster and U.S. Sen. Tim Scott. In May, Graham rolled out a finance committee with a list of more than 90 prominent donors in South Carolina. Republican strategist Chris LaCivita, who served as Trump's 2024 co-campaign manager, also is working on Graham's campaign as a senior adviser. In recent weeks, Graham was a key senator in its passage of the 'Big Beautiful Bill' that includes key Trump priorities such as making tax cuts from the president's first term permanent and increasing spending on border security, defense and energy production, according to CBS News. 'Andre Bauer has spent his career chasing titles to feed his ego, running for five different offices and even trying to leverage Senator Graham and the White House for an ambassadorship,' Graham spokeswoman Abby Zilch said in a statement. 'When that failed, he launched his sixth campaign — proving once again, this is all about Making Andre Great Again.' Bauer, who was lieutenant governor from 2003 to 2011, told the Washington Examiner last month that Trump has privately urged him to get back into politics. 'He's expressed confidence in me four or five times in a row that I've seen him,' Bauer told the Examiner, adding he has yet to speak to Trump about the Senate race. Alex Latchman, the executive director of the Senate Leadership Fund, which works to elect Republicans to the U.S. Senate, worked on Trump's 2024 campaign in the early primary states. Latchman on X disputed Bauer's claim. 'This is bull----. I oversaw President Trump's South Carolina campaign and Andre was a massive pain in the a--,' Latchman posted. 'The (former) Lt. Governor thought President Trump's campaign was the Andre Bauer show.' Bauer was a member of the Trump's leadership team in the Palmetto State standing alongside Graham, McMaster, Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette, and U.S. Reps. Russell Fry, William Timmons and Joe Wilson. However, Bauer wasn't on the stage with Trump on the night of the South Carolina presidential primary. Bauer ran for governor in 2010, and finished fourth in the Republican primary election. He also ran for U.S. House in 2012, but lost in a Republican runoff against eventual U.S. Rep. Tom Rice in the 7th Congressional District. Graham already had two primary challengers. Businessman Mark Lynch, of Greenville, has been in the race since February and put in $5 million of his own money boost his bid. Ethan Holliman, of Conway, also has filed paperwork with the Federal Elections Commission to run as a Republican for the seat and has loaned his campaign $20,000.
