Is there a dog with green fur?
In a peculiar turn of events reported by BBC News in 2020, Italian farmer Cristian Mallocci experienced a surprise when his dog, Spelacchia, delivered a litter of puppies on his farm located on the picturesque Mediterranean island of Sardinia. Among the litter of five adorable pups, one stood out distinctly – a tiny canine with fur of an unusual green hue. Promptly dubbed Pistachio, the green-furred puppy captivated hearts with his rare and remarkable appearance. While his siblings boasted the conventional white fur inherited from their mother, Pistachio’s vibrant green coat puzzled experts and onlookers alike. This rare phenomenon is thought to be the result of the puppy’s exposure to a green pigment known as biliverdin while developing in the womb. The remarkable occurrence of a dog being born with green fur serves as a fascinating reminder of the unpredictable wonders of nature.
