But animals with light colored eyes glow red, but dark colors will glow green or blue.

I wonder why that is... Anyone know?
I read about that somewhere and right now I can't remember where. I will have to think on it and see if I can find it again. Seems like it is something to do with the way the light is reflect...what color "cones" are dominate. And if I remember right it changes throught the development of the dog. Puppies are usually reflect blue, and as the dog gets older it turns more green? I will reall have to see if I can remember where I read about it to make sure my facts are right....
