No, not a processed meat made from young dogs of African origin, but this:

My Name is Ronald Gigs, I and my Wife are on a Christian mission to Africa and we came along with our little Puppy Jenny. After a while we notice that the weather here is not good for the Jenny and we have not been able to take good care of her the way we always do because of our job. we need someone to adopt her and take care of her the way we always do. If you can take good care of her please get back to us because we really need someone to take good care of her.

And we hope you are also a loving person with a kind heart for pets that will take very good care of our baby. we are going to send her to you via Express pets delivery or next day delivery airline through an airline shipping agent, we are leaving her for shipping fee including Handling fee $350 . If you are interested in having her, we want you to get back to us with the following information below:

We’re good people, we like animals, we want you to take care of our "adorable English Yorkie puppy" (that was the e-mail subject). Hell, if we could e-mail the little blighter to you we would, but we need $350 to do it the old-fashioned way.

Strange.
