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."
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.
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.

Except the movie here was called "Hachi" not Hachiko

He's adorable but I never understand animals "going viral"... its a cute dog... most dogs are cute.... I'm not against it.. i just don't get it.
I feel like the point is not "getting it" actually. It's just something dumb and pointless but makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside when so much else on the internet is straight up soul-sucking garbage.

I I has the sweetest little face—-a face that clearly shows just how happy and loved he is. Now wonder he’s smiling! THIS is how a dog should feel.
I'm surprised that nobody commented that he's not actually smiling, however, he is happy. This is how every and any animal should feel, Kathryn, don't you think so?

He's so frigging cute I can't stand it. I just wanna squish that little face!
With his smile, this little dog helps make the world a happier place.
When it says it goes viral, I think disease. We don't use that word in french, that is all. We say buzz or popular..
