Dog Gives Birth To Green Puppy
KARE11 ^ | May 09 2008 | staff reporter

Posted on 05/09/2008 3:00:52 AM PDT by Daffynition

A puppy recently born in New Orleans, Louisiana is really standing out among his siblings, all because of his color.

You could say this puppy is environmentally safe...he's green.

The puppy was born last week and so far, he is perfectly healthy, just green.

Veterinarians say this sometimes happens when the mother's amniotic fluid mixes with the placenta during birth and dyes the coat of the puppy.

The puppy won't be green forever, veterinarians say in a few weeks, the green will fade away and the pup will be a light brown or white color.

Is it the luck of the Irish? Apparently this happens once in a while.

Maybe he is just envious?

Cute little guy.

I do believe that “green” is the only kind of puppy we have not owned!

The little guy is clearly part Irish Setter.

An Irish Setter? That could well be. I just assumed this pup was what happened when the Blue Dog and Yellow Dog Democrats got together.

OK, I've got to know what the "M" stands for.

Say the name . . . Truble M. Eaker . . . without pausing between the "M" and the "Eaker".
