Thousands of Japanese have been swindled in a scam in which they were sold Australian and British sheep and told they were poodles.

hahahahaha! Thats just so good. Gives "sheepdog" a whole new meaning. The article goes on to say how the general lack of sheep in Japan aided the scam, since many Japanese don't know what a sheep looks like... oh come on!



The best part is that the scam was discovered when a Japanese movie star, Maiko Kawamaki, went on a talk show wondering why her poodle wasnt barking or eating dog food!!! Can you imagine! Need to get this footage, links in the comments please!

She was crestfallen when told it was a sheep.

Now I dont even know what crestfallen means, but it sounds pretty damn hilarious! Following the show, hundreds of women called the police fearing the worst of their own new "poodle".

One couple said they became suspicious when they took their "dog" to have its claws trimmed and were told it had hooves.

"became suspicious" - not "they realised it was in fact a fucking sheep", just became a bit suspicious!!!

So if you're living in Sapporo, you just bought a new poodle, you're completely retarded and your dog is a farm animal... it might be time for you to become a little suspicious.
