Alternatively...
Weed died during surgery and was replaced by a lookalike
Hidetoshi couldn't save Weed, but Daisuke knew that the Ohu dogs needed their leader or they'd be thrown into chaos. They scrambled to obtain a silver brindle Akita as fast as possible and brought him to Futago Pass, hoping the dogs wouldn't notice the difference.
Buuuut didn't Moss instantly recognize Gin's imposter by smell alone in the most recent volume?
Was it by smell? I thought he just needed a closer look. He got a nosebleed from the intensity of the moment, but once he turned to face him better, he played dead again. I assumed he probably tried looking for his 3 scars on his forehead. If not that, it's just from the power of friendship that he knew it wasn't Gin

Like Digsu said, if Tokimune, Tony, and... Akame-substitute fooled people for years, then it can't be scent right?
Hmm, by the nose closeup panel it seemed as if he was sniffing the air. There's no way he could recognize Gin by face due to all blood. Well, Hougen didn't...

True, but Tokimune managed to fool people for years so it's not entirely impossible.
I was thinking also of Tokimune, but he:
1. only needed to fool the lower rank soldiers, while officers (meaning, anyone who might actually recognize him) knew perfectly well about him,
2. kept his distance, avoiding any close interaction with troops.
So, Weed's bodydouble would be possible, but definitely not by human intervention. It could be only possible if, again, the officers agreed for it.
