That has got to be the most stupid thing I've ever read. How can you not notice its going Baaa rather than Woof? Seriously, how can anyone fall for that sort of con? It has to be a joke, surely?

The only problem with the story is that the place it apparently occured in just happens to be the main breeding/livestock area for sheep in japan, therefore obviously this story is a load of BS

The photo that was shown on Sunrise this morning was hilarious, the coat was shaped and shaved like a poodle... :

Whether real or not, it provided a laugh.

Reminds me of the Simpsons when Homer goes to a pet shop looking for a horse for Lisa and is almost suckered into buying a Scottish Deer Hound.
