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. Sold as dogs. Hilarity Ensues!

But the scam was only spotted after a leading Japanese actress said her 'poodle' didn't bark and refused to eat dog food.

lol, I can imagine a frustrated and confused japanese woman trying to feed it and wondering why it keeps making that bleating noise.

I wonder if she "spotted" it after taking it to a vet*

edit; it looks like it was on national tv when she found out. or am I miss-reading it?

would you not have put a bit of research into something before paying for it!

Haha. Apparently one of the women who bought one was in Violent Cop. Class film. I'd prefer a lamb to a poodle anyway TBH.

Yeah but then they turn into sheep....not so cool having a sheep around the house. It's....just not cute.
