Dog Gives Birth To Rare Green Puppy

3-year-old Golden retriever, Rio, just received an amazing surprise when she gave birth to a green puppy. Rio gave birth to 9 puppies and one of them was born with a rare green pigment on their skin.


There have only been a handful of puppies in the entire world that have been born with this condition, which veterinarians believe is caused by an exposure to biliverdin which is a green bile pigment found in the placenta. This condition fades within a few weeks and the puppy, now named Forest, will have fur similar to the rest of his brothers and sisters.

I bet this was an incredible surprise to Rio's human when she found a green puppy in the mix.
