Here's another picture related to one I posted close to a year ago of a really old shiba inu I would often stop to pet on my way to school while in Kumamoto. The last stretch of spring semester was really difficult for me and one of the ways I coped with that was petting this dog whenever he was outside. I'd stop my bike and he'd walk right up to me for some neck scratches. ^..^
