Meet the adorable Japanese poodle whose haircut makes him look just like a sheep as he races around fields.

Owner Yoriko Hamachiyo said the unusual hairstyle came about not for cosmetic reasons, but to help stop canine Goma from getting painful knots in his fur. 

Yoriko, 42, who spends two hours at a time grooming her dog, said: ‘He had a problem with licking his paws clean as the saliva made the hair on his legs tangled, which was painful for him to unravel. That’s why I decided on a sheep-style cut for him.’ 

The cute pooch can be seen enjoying his new locks as he jumps in the air while racing around fields in his native Japan.
