Meet Pistachio
: A puppy born this month on the island of Sardinia with green fur.
This is a rare phenomenon that occurs in the mother's womb in which the puppy's fur is dyed in this color by a pigment called billiardin.
The one who posted the picture of the cute puppy is Christian Malucci, the farm and farm manager who is amazed to discover the greenish puppy suckling from his mother along with his four snow-white brothers.
Malucci, himself noted: "I plan to hand over the four puppies except the green puppy, which I immediately called pistachio, because green is a color of luck and this year with all the corona plague and economic difficulties there should be some luck in life, so I also posted the pictures to That more people will get excited with me. "
And if you do not know or have heard of dogs with green fur, then the reason is that it is only a temporary color that fades with time and the fur becomes white again.
Even in the case of pistachios after a few days the color has already started to go down and return to the natural white hue of the other puppies.
Meanwhile, although it is a relatively rare phenomenon, Fox News News, which reported the puppy Pistachio, noted that last year a farm owner in the state of Colorado in the US also got to see this phenomenon when five puppies born to him on the farm also had fur with the rare green hue. In this case the hue disappears with time although we would have been happy to see some green dogs in the wild.
