My Dog Rosie Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I think some people are gullible! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/art...ot-kidding.html Ewe have got to be kidding! The 'puppy' born to a SHEEP Vets say it’s impossible - but to Chinese farmer Liu Naiying his birth is a miracle. For Mr Liu insists one of his sheep has given birth to a dog The 'puppy' has wool like a lamb but its mouth, nose, eyes, paws and tail look more like a dog's. His 'sheep dog' even plays like a hound. The birth has prompted thousands to flock to his farm in Shaanxi Province to see for themselves. Mr Liu told how he found the unusual baby animal shortly after it was born in one of his fields. ‘I was herding the sheep, and saw a sheep licking her newborn lamb on the grassland. The lamb was still wet,’ he said. ‘When I went up close to check on the lamb I was shocked because it looked so weird, like a cross between a sheep and a dog. ‘I was a bit frightened, as I've been raising sheep for 20 years and had never seen such a creature.’ Yue Guozhang, a researcher at Xi'an City Animal Husbandry Technology Centre, said sheep and dogs were different species. ‘It's not possible that a sheep could become pregnant with a puppy,’ he said. ‘It's likely that this is just an abnormal lamb.’ Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/art...l#ixzz1HgYADfUL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twodoggies2001 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Whatever this poor creature happens to be, it sure looks neglected and I suspect not very well either. Just look at the eyes. There is no sparkle of a healthy dog/sheep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugUrPup Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Well in China it could end up as food. It's no wonder it's neglected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) It just looks like a dirty matted little dog to me, not even a puppy. No mention on whether it's suckling from the ewe. I bet it's got sharp pointy little doggy teeth. Edited March 26, 2011 by Kirislin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet it's got sharp pointy little doggy teeth. Exactly what I was thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swizzlestick Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 What a crock if shite! Gee some people are idiots. 100% canine there. Sad, matted, dirty canine. Poor thing. I suppose they might try and breed with it or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redangel Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 It looks like a matted small breed to me- that is not the fleece of a sheep there. Those matts have been earned from months of neglect. What part is there that is actually sheep like (other than the wool look). Heres a news story "Deranged woman takes rare red lamb for walk every day...she thinks its a dog" Poor puppy..I hope it has some future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
