My dog's nose is pink after a scratch. Will it turn black again?

Question

I took hachi on a walk and I noticed that there was a scratch on his nose after we got home. The cut is not bleeding and is minor and not deep but it is slightly pink. Will his nose change back to the color black once he heals? Pet's info: Dog | Shiba Inu | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 6 months old | 28 lbs

Yes, it is very common for the nose to depigment when it is injured and the vast majority of the time, the nose will return to normal color over a few weeks. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions!
