Italian farmer Cristian Mallocci got a surprise when his dog, Spelacchia, gave birth to a puppy with green fur, immediately named Pistachio.
The puppy was part of a five-dog litter born at Mallocci's farm in Sardinia. Pistachio's brothers and sisters all had white fur, the same colour as their mother. Dogs born with green fur are very rare, and are believed to result from the puppy making contact with a green pigment called biliverdin while in the womb.
