A puppy recently born in New Orleans, Louisiana is really standing out among his siblings, all because of his color.

You could say this puppy is environmentally safe...he's green.

The puppy was born last week and so far, he is perfectly healthy, just green.

Veterinarians say this sometimes happens when the mother's amniotic fluid mixes with the placenta during birth and dyes the coat of the puppy.

The puppy won't be green forever, veterinarians say in a few weeks, the green will fade away and the pup will be a light brown or white color.
