Tabby, spotted, ticked, and marbled — cats and dogs come in all colors and patterns, and they all suit them well. But now and then, mother nature has something special for our furry friends, be it a cute heart-shaped spot, a fancy mustache, or a crazy long beard that makes your dog look like a cartoon hero.
