Wild Dogs Turn Green From 'Toxic Waste'

The strays, thought to be former guard dogs, are said to scavenge for food at a tip on the outskirts of Yekaterinburg city. A local resident said he thought someone was playing a practical joke when he saw the hounds in the snow. "I go past those dogs every day," Alexei Bukharovsky said. "They are usually reddish... but then I saw, running along the white snow, an almost completely emerald dog."

"Either local residents or a factory have been dumping some kind of chemical waste there," the spokesman said.

Or - since the green is on the underside of the dog, its possible that the dog came in contact with some green algae or fungus?

But that is not nearly as interesting.

The Hulk will be happy. I heard he always wanted pets.

No toxic waste involved.. My female gold retriever had the same green tint to her coat right after her heat cycle. It was from the male.... and rolling in the grass
Well thats at least what we think. The vet has never heard of it when brought her their for shots. It lasted for a very long time. But i live in a nice neighborhood no toxic waste
Ill see about pictures she still got a very little green tint to her
