Although Stamey was initially “freaked out a little bit” by Hulk’s color, she remembered seeing a Facebook post from years ago in which someone posted a similar story about their dog, and said that the coloring was not harmful to the puppies.
“I wish he would stay green forever,” Stamey said, “but as she (Hulk’s mom) licks him more and cleans him more, and once I can give him his first bath, it’ll probably fade away.”
Hulk’s internet fame also came with some criticism — particularly related to breeding dogs (the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals estimates that about 3.3 million dogs enter U.S. animal shelters nationwide every year). Stamey said the decision came at the “spur of a moment.”
“I think it’s kind of my dog,” she added. “She has been vet-checked and she is totally healthy. The dad is totally healthy.”
As for adopting Hulk and his siblings out, Stamey initially had friends interested in the puppies. But the viral pickup has generated tremendous interest, which she described as “overwhelming.”
“If it fell through and I was stuck with four, then I’m stuck with four of them, “Stamey said. “They’re my babies.”
