A little green dog born in Sardinia, Italy is melting hearts.

Meet Pistachio! Named for his ultra rare green fur! Newborn puppies are rarely born with green fur. Experts say this happens when light-colored puppies have contact with a green pigment called Biliverdin, while in their mother’s womb.

Pistachio was one of 7 puppies to be born in the litter and the only one to come out rockin’ green fur!

His color will fade as he gets older, but he will always have a green tint to his fur!

Pistachio isn’t the only puppy born with unusual colored fur. Earlier in the year, a German Shepherd puppy turned heads in North Carolina when he was born with bright lime green-colored fur.
