Rare Green Puppy Born In Scotland
Baby golden retriever’s fur stained greenRio, a 3-year-old golden retriever, recently gave birth to a puppy whose fur was green. The color started to fade pretty quickly, but not before the mint-green puppy, Forest, made a splash online. Rio’s owner, Louis Sutherland, was shocked to find that one of the nine puppies stood out, The Sun reported. “We couldn’t believe it,” she said. “When we checked it out later, we found out it is very unusual and to do with the placenta. The color has faded quite a bit already and will be gone soon, I’m told. We’ve named him Forest.” Bile pigment found in the placenta of dogs can stain the puppy’s coat green when it mixes with the amniotic fluid, The Sun reported. Green puppies have only been recorded three times before in the world. |

Top Secret Drum Corps is a precision drum corps based in Basel, Switzerland. With 25 drummers and colorguard members, the corps became famous for its demanding six-minute routine performed at the Edinburgh Tattoo in 2003. With its invitation to Edinburgh, Top Secret became one of the first non-military, non-British Commonwealth acts to perform on the Esplanade at Edinburgh Castle.
Since its success in 2003, Top Secret was invited to return to Edinburgh in 2006 with a new and improved routine. They were invited a third time in 2009 and again in 2012. Under the leadership of Erik Julliard, the band is also responsible for the founding of the Basel Tattoo, a military tattoo show similar to the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, now held annually in Basel.
