I'm still trying to figure this one out. They couldn't tell the difference between a dog and a sheep? They didn't notice it had hooves until they took it to get trimmed? Who would even think they could fool someone with a scam like this? Do I give people too much credit for having some sense?
The only way this happened is the people really knew they were sheep but were afraid to say something for fear of hurting feelings. I could see that happening in Japan, they have a complex societal system, and aren't as forward as Americans can be.
Wool pulled over Japanese eyes in poodle scam
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.
Then hundreds of other women got in touch with police to say they feared their new "poodle" was also a sheep.
One couple said they became suspicious when they took their "dog" to have its claws trimmed and were told it had hooves.
