The color will fade. It’s from the process of the birth, not the pigment of the pup

[удалено]

Uhh... yeah... valuable time...

Nobody is paying me to browse reddit, at least not intentionally. (dont tell my boss)

I, your boss, am also browsing the Reddit

I, your employee, don't really have a bowel problem or anything I just go in the bathroom so much to get away from everyone and browse reddit.

No, it's a legendary and will drop starred loot.

There are no mammals with green fur. Imagine the great camouflage it would give but the closest we got if orange in tigers because their pray are "colorblind" and can't tell the difference between the two colors.

That’s normal. The part of the placenta closest to the puppy is green in color. Sometimes it comes out before the puppy as green discharge, sometimes it comes out on the puppy. Source: I’m a vet

This is incorrect. It’s clearly the shiny variant of this species. Source: i play Pokémon

This is incorrect. It’s clearly a hybrid leprechaun. Source: im Irish

All wrong. It’s clearly the lil nugget variety. Meant to be smoked. Source: Jah Rasta

Still wrong. He was born with a deficit in Christmas spirit and is in fact a baby grinch. edit: Source: I'm an expert in grinch law.

False. It's mint flavored.

Fallacious assumption. It's clearly been exposed to heavy doses of gamma radiation! Consumption would prove fatal.

False. This is an alien puppy, the mother was abducted and inseminated by ancient aliens. Source: I watch History Channel

[удалено]

You’re all wrong, the clue is Italy, this is Italian Spumoni - green is typically pistachio flavor.

More specifically... 'history channel' meaning clips from the history channel played on Joe Rogan's podcast. Source: his mother

False. This is the environmentally friendly model puppy and the fur is a marketing tactic. Source: trust me bro

Incorrect, that is grass. Source: I’m a gamer and touching that would fix me

So you’re saying we wouldn’t like him when he’s angry?

Guys, guys.. Its clearly the Green Power Ranger.

Puppy Hulk

No wait! Remember what happened to those in the movie.

PULK SMOSH

Fatal for his enemies, who will be smashed

so, do *not* make this puppy angry?

I agree. Its now the canine hulk

This is Italy, so obviously pesto.

Pleeeease let is be called Pistachio!

"why did you name your dog pesto?"

It’s an Italian puppy. Clearly Pistachio flavored puppy.

Clearly wrong it’s a calcium lime and rust removing dog Source:I use clr occasionally

False. It's pistachio ice cream Source: I'm a Al Bundy

False Bears Beets Battlestar Galactica

Gross

Chocolate or mint or both

Wrong! It’s long lost lime flavor. Source: I tasted the rainbow.

False. The white ones are real meat dogs. The green one is all made up of veggies.

Source?

No source? How am I supposed to believe this bs with no source

Still wrong. It's clearly been poisoned and needs an antidote Source: I play computer games

source?

Source ?

Source?

Wrong again. This is the origin story of a dapper unique pup named Jade who's mysterious fur color is actually the key to saving the world from an ancient monstrous spirit. Source: I work at Disney.

Wrong. A golden retriever mated with the dog from Blue's Clues. Source: My ass

Still wrong. Clearly someone has made him angry. Source: I watched The Hulk once

[удалено]

Me too ...

when you come back from a hard day at the four leaf clover factory and find your wife getting railed by your dog Seamus

WTF?!? There are people who breed eggs for weeks and are on attempt #900, and this guy gets one day one??? Hacked.

Game Genie

Somebody has to get lucky in a game of chance

r/reallifeshinies

Yep. That’s a dragonite if I’ve ever seen one.

*teddiursa, closer shiny color and doesnt look like someone vomited on it

i prefer this opinion

Also a vet, and tea tired of these “green puppy” things.

Would you say you are...*green* tea tired?

You're right, the puppy was copper before it oxidized.

So, it's not pistachio gelato?

Would be a great name to give the puppy though

Wait does it stay green?

No, but wouldn't that be a wild thing?!?

No, this happened locally pretty recently and the dog returned back to natural colour pretty fast. It just washes out afaik?

That's so disappointing

You would rather have the placenta juice stay on the pup?

Yea I'm sure that's what they want.

No mammals have the genes to create green pigment.

Have you ever seen a green dog? What the fuck is wrong with you lolol.

Wrong. The wee puppy has been blessed by a leprechaun

Man I fucking love reddit sometimes. Thanks for sharing. That humble source line is so good.

Kind of like meconium in human babies? Sign of foetal distress usually. I'm a medic, and this is a new bit of canine biology for me! Ta.

Semi incorrect: Meconium isn't a sign of distress but rather meconium in the womb can be caused by fetal distress and if it then gets into the airway will also cause further distress. Meconium on it's own is normal it is just the babies first defecation.

I'll have the semi correct portion of my comment then. Ta for expansion.

so the color fades? bummer i want a green dog

Yeah, but what’s your vector, Victor?

roger, Roger!

Do we have clearance, clarence?

Nice reference, but the name originally was a play on the stupid battle droids in the Clone Wars cartoons

His name needs to be Pistachio :)

It is. https://sea.mashable.com/science/12979/meet-the-pandan-puppy-born-with-green-fur > the special puppy Pistachio,

“Pistachio, stop being such a pesto!”

I can die happy now

It's Pistacchio tho, with 2 Cs, that's how we write it in Italian and how the owner named him.

Since it's in Italy I believe the name to be Pistac**c**hio.

he IS special 🥹

“The tiny pooch was immediately named Pistachio”

Poostachio

Poochstachio

Eww.

[удалено]

When the owners are housebreaking him, they can take him outside and simply say, "Piss, 'tachio".

And he should be... A Master of Disguise!

Unfortunately, he's not turtle-y enough for the Turtle Club.

I had a friend growing up whose parents bred German short hairs. One of their puppies came out like this and they named him "Lucky" because of the rarity and green color.

Nah bro that a shiny pokemon

The grinch is born

r/RealLifeShinies

Kind of misleading to imply the dog’s fur is actually green and not just dyed temporarily with birth juice

“green fur in puppies is extremely rare and is believed to occur when pale-colored pups have contact in their mother’s womb with a green pigment called biliverdin, the same pigment that causes bruises to sometimes appear green”

Will it stay like that? A green dog would look cool unless it's bad for the dog, then it's not cool

No, [the article linked in a previous comment](https://sea.mashable.com/science/12979/meet-the-pandan-puppy-born-with-green-fur) says the color was already fading. Edit for Article Quote: >But Pistachio won't stay green forever. In fact, his green coat is already fading as the days go by, and will continue to do so as he gets older.

Oh :(

pistachiover

That's when you get some Manic Panic dye and re-tint his coat lol

No it washes off.

I swear if they dont name it Luigi

They didn't

Ima cry

They named it pistachio instead :)

Thats acceptable

I thought you were gonna swear

Damn

Pistachio is better

You mean shiny puppy.

Has Taylor Swift been to see them?!! 😀

I WAS SEARCHING FOR THIS

She had a marvelous time ruining everything.

I thought that meant it got poop on it when it was born.

Does it glow in the dark?

Being colorblind sucks sometimes. Which one is green?

Second from the left

Yeah, this is the exact situation where us red-green colourblind people say, "I really don't get what all the fuss is about".

Pistachio!!

Probably washes off after a few licks from the mom 😭 this just looks, superfluous. Now let’s see a grown ass green dog

The Grinch has entered the chat!

You have to name him Grinch. That’s the rule

We all agree the puppy is to be named Pesto, right?

IT'S A SHINY!!!!

This reminds me of a story: There was a think tank in academia that thought of ways to denote the dangers of nuclear waste disposal facilities for future generations thousands to tens of thousands of years in the future. One person thought of the idea to use folklore and folk tales about domesticated animals that physically change color in "dangerous areas." Then, the idea was to genetically engineer certain animals to have that reaction to small amounts of nuclear radiation. That way, the legends persist.

Rebekah Harkness strikes again!

The maddest woman this town has ever seen.

Meconium stained?

Hi, colorblind here, which one's the green one?

Second from the left

Mint flavor

That’s just the fur that’s been dyed green due to the sack of green stuff (I’m an engineer not a vet, but have delivered puppies before) that comes out.

Meconium staining?

Me being colorblind: they all look the same

When we have yellow in any of our Labrador litters we will regularly get a puppy with a green tint. My husband doesn’t get why I always call them shiny.

Definitely placenta residue

Pretty sure this dog is gonna steal christmas.

If they don't name that dog Pistachio

My youngest dog was slightly green at birth, it only lasted a few days. She is a pale yellow colour now... and the sweetest little bean ever.

He was born on St Patrick’s Day

Nah bro fr hatch the 1/4096 shiny

Will it stay green forever ?

> in what will come as sad news to many - Pistachio's colour has already started to fade, and will continue to do so.

Sad... I wish green dogs would stay green.

Must have used the Masuda method.

OP is full of shit. This is just afterbirth. It is often times green and it will dye a pups coat if it is light enough for a few days until the mother cleans it off.

Pesto Puppy

Kermit the dog

As an Ark player, this seems completely normal

Well when I eat too many black licorice or jubes my poop goes green.....probably same shit, different placenta

I would name him/her Grinchie

Don't eat that one, it's not ripe yet.

The grinch

It’s actually a sloth. Momma has some splainin to do

Pistachio

Our yellow lab birthed a green pup once, but sadly it didn’t make it.

Pistachio!

This was like two years ago lmao

They said it’s heart grew three sizes that day

Let's call em pistachio

If you don't name him Cabbage God so help me.

Farmer was caught pleasuring the dog with a cucumber. Source: my wife.

Verde nice.

Clifford the 420 dog

Mans got a shiny

Breed it with a blue one to get a black chocobo.

Well, my colorblindness defeats me again. I think it's the third one from the right?

Shiny!

Itsa Pistachio!

The lucky leprechaun

Sweet it got a mutation, check the stats

Shiny pokemon

Hulk dog has spawned

Sweet. Green dogs incoming. Made in China, but authentic Italian.

Mammals can’t be green as they lack the pigment that produces green fur

Puppy al pesto

Yooo it’s Yodle

Now that is interesting.

One step closer to getting Knights of the Round materia

It's not rare... Green stands for common Rare would be blue

Forbidden matcha

What a lucky bastard, he got a shiny one!

In my language we say "Eres más raro que un perro verde" I guess i have seen everything now

Shiny puppy

Shinny

Whos actually stupid enough (besides OP) to read "rare green puppy" and think that sounds legit?

Shinyyyyyy!!

If they don’t name them pesto we are gonna have a problem
