Mini Dachshund Puppy With 2 Different Eye Colors Has Everyone Stunned

All puppies are cute in their own distinct ways, with their oversized heads and clumsy movements, but some puppies are so adorable that it's simply impossible to look away from them. Pistachio is one such darling doggo. In a sweet TikTok video that's been viewed more than 65,000 times, the petite puppy gazes at the camera with eyes of two different colors, and the effect is mesmerizing. Tiny little Pistachio is too tired to stay awake on his first car ride to his new home, so during the video, his extraordinary-looking eyes slowly close, and he snoozes in a plush dog bed.

Hereditary heterochromia is a harmless eye condition in which an animal or a person is born with irises of two different colors. Certain dog breeds have a higher incidence of heterochromia iridis — sometimes referred to as complete heterochromia — including huskies, Dalmatians, Australian cattle dogs, and Australian shepherds. (Fun fact: Actor Dan Aykroyd has heterochromia, but David Bowie did not. The pop star's eyes only became different colors after he got punched in the eye as a teen.) However, if one of your pet's eyes suddenly changes color, or if you notice other troubling developments such as enlarged pupils or cloudy eyes, then a visit to your vet is necessary to check for injuries and diseases.
