This was mentioned on the Rush Limbaugh program today and I had to look it up and see if it was real. YES :eek::eek::eek::eek:

Sorry to burst your (and Rush's) bubble, but it's not. Many have fallen for it though, that is clear.

Japanese import laws and customs ( as in customs agents ) are the real deal. Getting any animals into the coutry let alone 2000 sheep would be quite a trick. I'm sure Stu can atest to this.

[Cliff Rohrabacher]

Limbaugh was never very strong on fact checking. And even though they are all foreigners doesn't make the Japanese any more dumb (or smart) than us here in the USA. I can't imagine selling a sheep to any one here in the US and managing to convince 'em it was a poodle.

[Mark Pruitt]

I've never met a poodle that was sheepish about barking.


Sorry......:rolleyes:

Almost daily, I get some email with "interesting" stuff like this. I have come to rely on www.snopes.com (http://www.snopes.com) to check these tales out to see if they are fact or fiction.

This web site tells the story.

This appears to be a baaaaaad story...

This is a variation of an urban legend about the dog from south america that turned out to be a large rat. Also not true, but the stories are virtually identical.

Apparently this was Rush's minute. :D
