Golden Retrievers get their name from the color of their fur, but one just born in Scotland didn't come out gold - it came out green!

The puppy was one of a litter of nine but was the only one to come out green. Apparently, the rare coloring, which has only been documented three other times, was from exposure to biliverdia, a green bile pigment in the placenta. It should fade in a few weeks but it still inspired the pup's name - Forest.
