Baa baa poodle sheep, have you any wool?

This is one of the most ridiculous news items I have seen in ages: Thousands of people have been 'fleeced' into buying neatly coiffured lambs they thought were poodles.

Exactly how did this happen? I mean, even if you've never seen a poodle you've certainly seen a dog. Dogs have distinctive characteristics like...oh, I don't know...PAWS instead of HOOVES.


I love that the tip-off was not the fact that that the animal had EYES ON THE SIDE OF ITS HEAD and HOOVES (did I mention the HOOVES?), but that the "dog" wouldn't bark or eat dog food.
