No one wanted to take Duke, the dachshund, from the orphanage for many months. All due to physical characteristics, as the four-legged creature was born albino. The dog is white, not the typical black-brown tint. Even Duke’s nose is pink rather than black.
The dog’s vision and hearing are both significantly compromised, and because of a congenital condition, its heart is enlarged.
Duke finds it challenging to walk for an extended period of time without experiencing shortness of breath and edema as a result of this.
In order to prevent sunburn, he should also wear sunscreen.
Animals with albinism have a hereditary lack of eye color, hair color, and skin pigment.
The dog won Mercedes Andrade over right away.
The woman stated that she was surprised to learn that dachshunds can be born with albinism.
Although Mercedes had no intention of taking the puppy, she was unable to leave Duke behind.
“He chose us; we didn’t choose him.” Duke believed that he would find security and happiness in our home, according to Mercedes Andrade.
Duke is now surrounded by affection and care, and he also gained notoriety as a result of the social media posts made by his owner.
He consistently draws people’s attention when walking down the street.
People approached to get a better look at the dachshund and to snap a few pictures of him.
The dog senses the love that his owners offer him despite having only one eye and hearing only high-frequency sounds.
