Ferrets Pumped With Steroids Sold as Dogs

Story Updated 4/8/13 11:07PM

A man who thought he scored a deal on toy poodles found he got something quite different — ferrets juiced with steroids and fluffed for maximum cuteness.

The unsuspecting buyer purchased the faux dogs (or feroodles?) at the La Salada market in Argentina. It wasn't until he brought the primped mammals to the veterinarian that he found out the truth.

Twitter users showed little sympathy for the duped feller.

Apparently, steroids can also affect humans around them, making them delusional to a point where they think a ferret is a dog.

Seriously though - if you can't tell the difference between a dog & a ferret you probably shouldn't own either.
