Man Buys Toy Poodles - Discovers They're Actually Ferrets On Steroids

[Initech]

Man gets shock of his life when he buys two toy poodles for $150 only to be told by a vet that they are actually GIANT RODENTS pumped up with steroids to look like dogs

Gullible bargain hunters at Argentina's largest bazaar are forking out hundreds of dollars for what they think are gorgeous toy poodles, only to discover that their cute pooch is in fact a ferret pumped up on steroids.

One retired man from Catamarca, duped by the knock-down price for a pedigree dog, became suspicious he had bought what Argentinians call a 'Brazilian rat' and when he returned home took the 'dogs' to a vet for their vaccinations.

Imagine his surprise when his suspicious were confirmed - he had in fact purchased two ferrets that had been given steroids at birth to increase their size and then had some extra grooming to make their coats resemble a fluffy toy poodle.

4. Not that it matters but

Ferrets aren't rodents, they're weasels... How you could mistake them for poodles is beyond me. Maybe if you'd only seen a picture of a poodle? As drawn by a kindgartener?

5. Good point about being weasels! Also, the purchasers must be Argentina's version of

Teabaggers.

8. No ears - that can be seen - that would be a clue about any dog - poodle or no. n t
