BOSTON -- A dog gave birth to a green puppy.

The little pup has been named Wasabi. The golden retriever was one of four puppies born to a dog in California last week.

His color definitely sets him apart. Veterinarians said that it's possible for a newborn's fur to be green because the placenta, which is green, sometimes rubs off at birth.
