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.

Stay tuned for the next installment of "Seriously, OMG, WTF" news, which will probably involve a man in Florida allowing his drunk pet moose to drive his golf cart.
