A bulldog gave birth to a “miracle” green puppy.
Bulldog gives birth to green puppy
The bulldog, named Freya, who lives in Canada with owners Trevor and Audra Mosher, gave birth to the one green puppy among a litter of eight puppies.
Trevor and Audra were concerned that the puppy was stillborn because of its colour, but it began moving almost immediately.
Trevor told Global News: "We started to dry her off and noticed she was green and immediately again thought there was something wrong. So we googled it, ‘My puppy is green, what’s wrong,’ and apparently it is very rare and it has happened a few times all over the world."
The green puppy has been thriving since birth and remains incredibly healthy. The green colour has been attributed to a rare and unusual process in the mother’s womb.
The pooch was born surrounded by a black sac, unlike the other puppies in the litter, who were all born in translucent sacs. The colour comes from a green pigment within the sac’s bile.
Trevor said that he was “amazed” to be part of such a rare event.
He said: "[I am] very lucky to have witnessed it and be a part of it.”
