I bet his hair looks beautiful with dark hair and silver tips. You would have to pay a hairdresser big bucks to get something so hip looking on a human.

When Piccolo's gray started turning silver, her Vet Dermatologist told me that prednisone could make fur turn lighter. But, it has never darkened up, so for Piccolo, I think it is mostly a gene thing.
