Golden Retriever Has Green Puppy (by MrWalkSoftly)
(59 / M-F / Louisiana)""A DOG owner couldn’t believe what she was seeing when her golden retriever gave birth to a GREEN puppy.
Her beloved pet Rio, aged three, gave birth last week to nine puppies – but when one came out mint green Louise Sutherland was stunned.
The rare occurrence is only known to have happened only three times before in the world.
It is caused by a bile pigment called biliverdin that is found in the placenta of dogs which can stain the puppy’s coat when it mixes with the mother’s amniotic fluid – the liquid that protects her pups.
Mrs Sutherland from Golspie in the Highlands has now named the pup Forest in recognition of her unusual shade.
She said: “The first pup was stuck, so myself and my daughter Claire managed to free him and pull him out safely.
It was all hands on deck but then as the puppies started to arrive, we noticed that one of the puppies had green fur. We couldn’t believe it.
“When we checked it out later we found out it is very unusual and to do with the placenta. The colour has faded quite a bit already and will be gone soon, I’m told. We’ve named him Forest.”
