While the newborn puppy’s coloring is temporary, green is known for luck. Mallocci views his birth as a beacon of hope during this difficult time.

“We’re excited about the attention and joy the new green puppy named Pistachio is bringing to the global pistachio family and to our team at Wonderful Pistachios,” said Adam Cooper, senior vice president of marketing, The Wonderful Company in a press release. “To echo Mr. Mallocci’s sentiments, we could all use a little green hope and luck right about now, and while we wish Pistachio could join our team as a mascot.”
