Haha. Except our dog-a Shiba Inu-who are more described as “cats in a dog suit” who had us as staff as well. We sadly just lost him at 17. Rest In Peace Jasper.

I have had lots of dogs and cats in my lifetime but I have always wondered what the personality of the Shiba Inu was like. I think they are very cool looking dogs almost fox like in appearance. I have heard they can be a bit aloof; your description as "cats in a dog suit" makes total sense to me. It's hard losing a pet companion even after 17 years.

They are a very cool breed. Yes; can be aloof, or pretend to be. No Labrador or golden retriever are they. But fiercely family loyal. The movie Hachi is actually based on a real-life story of a Shiba Inu (not an Akita as was used in the movie).
