Just how stupid does one have to be to pay $1600 a poodle and go home with a sheep?

For the answer see: http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=263297

The scam was uncovered when Japanese moviestar Maiko Kawamaki went on a talk-show and wondered why her new pet would not bark or eat dog food.

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

About 2000 people fell for this scam!!!

As they used to say on Sesame Street, "one of these thing is not like the other".....

Different all the way from teeth to turds....

Some people are just using up air that we need for fungus and bacteria.

Bet the victims felt sheepish.

I hope the perps got lambasted.

Overheard in the backroom: Ewe are a poodle . . . ewe are a poodle.

Darwin at it's finest; unless of course they were sealed in boxes and told not to open until they got home...then again...

Don't they eat dogs in Japan? wouldn't they know the difference?

Never underestimate the shear stupidity of some people; it's so easy to pull the wool over their eyes.
