If there’s one thing that you can be sure all people love regardless of their race or culture, it’s dogs. And who wouldn’t? They’re cute. They’re loyal. They make for great companions for families. At least these were the perks a villager from the Yunnan province was expecting to get when she bought a puppy from a roadside vendor.

She only realized her mistake two years later. While she knew the pup would grow up into a big dog, she grew suspicious when her family pet tipped the scales at 250 pounds. And then it started walking on two legs. It wasn’t a dog, after all.

A Case Of Mistaken Identity

You’re probably wondering how that mistake could happen in the first place or go on for that long. The thing is, young animals can look the same, especially to the untrained eye. So, when Su Yun was told she was buying a puppy, she didn’t really doubt her purchase.

Knowing more about her story and seeing the animal itself, you’ll begin to better understand how this case of mistaken identity played out. So, if you’re planning on welcoming a pet to your household, read this first before you head out to buy a puppy.
