Exciting and new! The dog that can worry itself!
Pet-related news story of the week: Japanese fraudsters have been selling fake poodles that are really cunningly-shaved sheep. The scam was exposed by a Japanese actress: "Maiko Kawakami appeared on a TV talk show with snaps of her pet, and admitted she wondered why it 'didn't bark and refused to eat dog food'. She was soon set straight - her dog was in fact a sheep." It sounds like something out of Wallace and Grommit, but apparently Japanese people have no idea what poodles look like. Up to 2000 people may have bought the grass-eating pooches.
