Did you ever see
a green dog?
We never had, either, until Frank Sharp, of Fairview, brought one in last week. There was a litter of four pups, half Chihuahua and half Manchester, and one was light tan, two white, and one light lime green. They were born Easter morning and it sounded like an Easter egg joke but he declared it was all above board. The color was most noticeable beside the white dog.
