Puppies, the cute and soft pets of most of the people, are born with several shades and textures, but never with colour like 'green'. But to the surprise of everyone a mysterious puppy has been born with green colour in New Orleans.

The puppy is a Golden Retriever breed. The green puppy, named Wasabi, was one of four puppies born few days ago.

Veterinarians are of the opinion that the placenta which is green in colour might be the reason for the puppy to born green. The mixture of amniotic fluid placenta dyes the fur of the puppy with a cot of green colour and it often happens to light coloured puppies.

Also they said that the green colour may disappear in few days and the original colour will come visible. The green colour has nothing to do with the colour of the puppy, and the new born is reported to be healthy and playful.

Skeptics question the theory of veterinarians asking that if it is the placenta that caused the colour shift, then why only one puppy was affected and none of his brothers?

What ever be the arguments heated up beneath the issue, a green puppy is really a mystery and is the first of it's kind ever reported.
