Uni is a 9-month-old Shiba Inu living in Tokyo, Japan, and he has a lot to smile about. His owner loves him, there are plenty of toys in their home, and they lead active lives. But can you guess what makes Uni the happiest? Food!
That's right, the puppy can't stop smiling whenever there's something delicious in front of him; even if the smoothie or a bowl of pasta on the table belongs to his human, it looks like the mere sight of food puts the widest grin on the little buddy's face.

"Uni is beautiful not only because he's always smiling," his owner told Bored Panda. "His short little legs have white paws, making him look as if he's wearing socks!"
Scrolling through Uni's photos, it becomes clear that he's pretty chill in most environments. "He is very well behaved, and knows that he needs to be quieter when we go out," his owner added. "When he's in public, he's calm, doesn't bark, or run around which makes hanging a stress-free and enjoyable experience."

that's where they're originally from, and they're good family dogs. also there's a popular story about a really loyal Shiba Inu, and i guess that's been ingrained into many Japanese people's minds.

When it comes to food, the puppy's owner said he's not picky at all; Uni loves everything, especially potato sticks.
However, if you too want to give your dog potatoes, American Kennel Club warns that it should be baked or boiled, with nothing added to it. "Potatoes fried in oil, such as french fries or potato chips, or potatoes with butter or salt added to them are not healthy for dogs. If your canine companion has diabetes, he should not be given potatoes because they can cause blood sugar spikes," the organization wrote.
Uni, however, clearly can and does enjoy eating them.

It's actually a dessert made from chestnuts called "Mont Blanc". Japanese foods can be silly.

He has the smile of a fox cub. (I like foxes... Just not when they kill chickens or ducks)

Where is this? It's not the dog they made the movie about is it? With Richard Gere?

As I said in my other post this may be Hachiko as there are several statues of him throughout Japan (now-a-days). Uni, however, is not the same breed as Hachiko as the famous dog was an Akita. I read a story about him many years ago (40-50 yrs) I am 70 and what I learned about the Akita breed made me want one of my own. And was able to buy a registered Akita 20 yrs ago from a breeder here in Alberta, CA. He was a beautiful well trained dog. Unfortunately, I only had him for a few years, he died one night from a twisted bowel. He was fine when I went to bed and when I got up in the morning he was dead, that is how fast a dog can die from it.

Because it is taken with a wide angle lens and probably a small diafragma opening (it's sunny so, possible). The 1:1 photo is a crop (is my guess). Phone lenses also tend to work this way.

Amazing how clean is this train station. Unfortunately Lausanne, Switzerland, the city looks like a landfill. It is so sad to see how things have degraded in these past 20 years. It's heart breaking to see it going to waste. It was so clean, not even a cigarette or chewing gum could be seen on the sidewalks or on the streets.

Should we say that’s a Shiba-chu (credits to Fernleaf6505) or a Pika-ba? 🤔

I'm all for it - cute pix of dogs, cats or any animal are just simply heartwarming to look at. They can lift a person's mood in seconds. Doesn't work for everyone of course. 😃
