Shiba Unu are the star dogs of Japan. We see them everywhere in advertisements for furniture, cream or fashionable clothes. One of them even has his own TV series. In Tokyo (Japan), there are even cafes for lovers of these little Japanese dogs. You can have a drink there while petting the animal. Attendance has been increasing in these places since 2020. With their triangular ears, round head and curled tail, these dogs from Japan have existed for 2,300 years.
