A Chinese farmer is claiming that one of his sheep gave birth to a puppy dog. The “canine” is covered in wool like a lamb but the animal’s mouth, nose, eyes, paws and tail all resemble that of a dog’s.





Vets contend it’s impossible for the two animals to engage in cross breed delivery. Nevertheless people have been flocking to Liu Naiying’s farm to see the animal for themselves.





Liu, who resides in Fugu County, Shaanxi Province, says his “sheep dog” even behaves like a puppy when it plays.


According to Liu he made the unlikely discovery by accident.
“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 it’s likely the animal is just an abnormal lamb.”
