Japanese Mistakenly Buy Lambs As Poodles
Filed Under Fun
Oh man…
Thousands of people have been ‘fleeced’ into buying neatly coiffured lambs they thought were poodles.
Entire flocks of lambs were shipped over from the UK and Australia to Japan by an internet company and marketed as the latest ‘must have’ accessory.
But the scam was only spotted after a leading Japanese actress said her ‘poodle’ didn’t bark and refused to eat dog food.

Is this true? I can hardly believe it. There are poodles in Japan, of course, and they should know the difference.
Ah nope - too funny to be true, this story today was exposed as a fake….
Yeah, had to be a fake story. Not sure how anyone could mistake a lamb for a dog.
