Japanese fooled in poodle scam

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

She was crestfallen when told it was a sheep.
…
One couple said they became suspicious when they took their “dog” to have its claws trimmed and were told it had hooves.

LOL, in Japan of all places. I thought they were smart, logical people, no? REALLY.. if they don’t know the difference between a sheep and a poodle, they are not qualified to own any pets, including sheep.
