It’s Not What It Looks Like!
We have been talking all week about the guy who thought he bought a dog but it was really a rat, here’s a look at some other things people bought that just weren’t what they thought they were…
A man in china was shocked after the ‘puppy’ he bought for cheap from a ‘dog dealer’ was actually a bamboo rat.
Speaking to Chinese media, he said as his little furry friend began to grow, he started to have his doubts over the authenticity of the animal.
He felt something was wrong as the pooch was “behaving weird” and “didn’t run like a dog”. So he took to social media to seek advice.
He shared pictures of his new “dog” on Weibo in the hope that someone may be able to tell him what it was.
Small, with large ears and short legs, the animal was very identified as a bamboo rat, a rodent commonly found in Southern China, Burma and Vietnam.
They are in fact a source of food for the Chinese, which can be found cooked in markets across the country.
They also carry disease-causing mould, Penicillium marneffei.

Check out a few more things people bought they weren’t exactly what they thought they bought.
1. Online shopping is pretty great, but it also comes with some negatives.
2. When you can’t see what you’re getting, you have to really trust the seller.
And hope that they’re capable of following simple instructions.
4. Because the last thing you want is a bouquet of spring onions when you ordered geraniums.
5. Even when you do get flowers, they can look different than what they did on the website.
