A dog breeder in Alhambra, Calif., is mystified after his golden retriever gave born to a green puppy, according to a Local 6 News report.
The green puppy, named Wasabi, was one of four puppies born five days ago.
The dog is healthy and green, according to the report.
Local 6 News showed video of the puppy rolling around with its normal-looking newborn brothers and sisters.
Skeptics said the dog had to be dyed green but the owner said the puppy was born green.
Veterinarians said it is possible for a newborn puppy's fur to be green because the placenta, which is green, rubs off at birth.
Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.

Their placenta is

Is that true for people, too?

The Golden Retriever mom did this just to get a laugh.

Humm, veterinarians or vegiterinarians? I've been there for birthin' many animal babies of many species but I have yet to see a green placenta. Sometimes the mucous plug comes out in a variety of colors including very intense green. But a green placenta would probably indicate a dead (long prior to parturition) placenta.

This puppy wandered into a very early Easter egg dyeing party. This puppy wasn't born with a green coat ...
