You won’t believe what happened when Rio, a beautiful golden retriever, gave birth to a litter of nine adorable puppies this summer. Among the usual golden fur, there was one little surprise – a puppy with vibrant green fur!
As you can imagine, the owners were completely taken aback when they saw this unusual sight. It’s not everyday you come across a green puppy! But believe it or not, it’s not the first time it has happened. In fact, there have been only three such cases reported in the past.
So, how does this happen? Experts suggest that it could be due to the puppies’ exposure to a green bile pigment called biliverdin, which is found in the placenta. Although it may seem strange, this pigment can sometimes give puppies a temporary green hue when they are born.
Louise Sutherland, the proud owner of Rio and her unexpected emerald-colored pup, couldn’t believe her eyes when she first saw the green fur. “We couldn’t believe it,” she told The Sun. The news of the green puppy quickly spread around the world, capturing the hearts of people everywhere.
Interestingly, the green color doesn’t last for very long. With the help of gentle baths from their loving mother, the green hue gradually faded away. Soon, this unique little puppy looked just like his siblings, but that didn’t matter to Louise. She had already formed a special bond with him and decided to give him a name fitting for his extraordinary start in life – Forest.
Can you imagine having a green puppy? It’s truly an unbelievable and incredibly cute sight. Let’s all wish Forest the best of luck in his journey through life! Share this post with others to spread the joy and uniqueness of this adorable green fur ball.
