Lonely man discovers new 'puppy' is actually a hairless rat

A lonely office worker in China was left shocked after the puppy he bought from a cheap breeder turned out to be a rat. I mean yeah, it’s pretty annoying when that happens.

 

Speaking to a Chinese newspaper, the guy that as his ‘puppy’ started to grow, he starting having doubts. He said that the pooch was "behaving weird" and "didn't run like a dog". After sharing pics on social media, the animal was finally identified as a bamboo rat, which is pretty much a hairless guinea pig.  


 
According to local media, the dealer sold him the black 'dog' for a super low price. He later gave it away as unsurprisingly, he couldn’t train it. What a fucking pleb. You can see that’s a guinea pig and not a freakin dog ffs! It’s pretty cute though.

This was so ridiculous I went to find the article, this is my favourite bit: "It was dark at the time, and my friend could not see well," wrote the man. But it still took several days to get suspicious.
