    "It's surprising, alarming to see. Sometimes, when a puppy is born, the amniotic fluid mixes with the placenta and dyes the coat of the puppy and it almost always happens to very light colored puppies. There are not health concerns, it's really just a discoloration in the birthing process."—Anna Zorrilla, Louisiana SPCA CEO
