A 10‐week‐old Dalmatian puppy was presented for evaluation of plaques and eschars limited to the black‐haired markings on the dorsum of the body. The plaques and eschars were of acute onset. Histopathologic evaluation revealed epidermal, adnexal, and vascular necrosis, and subepidermal vesiculation consistent with a full‐thickness burn. Because of the history of exposure to direct sunlight, limitation of plaques and eschars to black‐haired dorsal skin, histopathology, and lack of another identifying cause, the lesions were attributed to a thermal burn from sunlight.
