The littermates of a Northern California puppy may be green with envy.

That's because a golden retriever born last week is green. The little green fella is one of a litter of four. But his littermates are the usual blond color.

Aren't they precious! Including Wasabi! I'm sure this "green" pigment will wear off. When our dog had puppies, we had to actually deliver one of them and pull the placenta out and off of him. We were wearing sterile gloves and the sac left "green" gunk on us. I'm sure that's what this is. He's cute as can be anyway though!!

I think it's aliens or a government conspiracy experiment.

My siamese once had a kitten with curly long hair. Looked like a little english sheepdog. We named it alien baby.

NewMom:
My daughter who's the adoption coordinator at a local animal shelter, said that's exactly what this is. It's from the placenta. She said it usually rubs off at birth.

They are too cute though! Green or not!
