It may be an awesome headline, but I’m extremely skeptical that this story is true. There’s an old urban legend about people being sold a dog in Mexico only to discover that it’s actually a rat. I’ve seen many different versions of this legend, and some years back a story from a British tabloid, about Japanese people being sold poodles under the ruse that they were sheep, actually made its way into a USA Today blog. This new dog/ferret story sounds to me like simply the latest variation on this tale.

@Gull Able: There were pictures of this too. But nobody believed it either!

@Kylopod: There is just something about the phrase “ferret on steroids” (especially when juxtaposed with “toy poodles”) that I found amusing.

@Steven L. Taylor: I agree. And I used to have ferrets. I did not put them on steroids. Otherwise war dancing could have become rather more dangerous than the normal head bonking.
