While we often share adorable cat content, there are also many popular canine stars online. Their owners frequently create social media accounts for them, and simply being cute can win over a large following. Today, we're featuring "Suzuki Kuritaro", a Shiba Inu deeply loved by his owner. On his social media, aside from photos of his daily life, his owner has creatively staged scenes of Kuritaro as a "one-day store manager", which have become a hit among netizens.
Kuritaro is about five years old and was once in an animal shelter in Kanagawa Prefecture. He may have experienced abuse in the past, which often leaves dogs with a fear of humans. However, after meeting his current owner, Suzuki, Kuritaro was taken home and cared for. Despite initial reservations, Kuritaro adapted well to his new home and didn't show significant signs of rejection. With time and training, he developed a good rapport with his family members.
In his new home, Kuritaro has found a second chance at life. He gets along well with his family, especially during walks when his owner would often give him a playful pat, prompting Kuritaro to respond with a unique step-to-the-side movement with his hind legs. This has become one of Kuritaro's signature traits.
What catapulted Kuritaro to internet fame is his owner's creative efforts. During their free time, Suzuki builds simple store decorations and dresses up Kuritaro, transforming him into a one-day store manager. This series, featuring Kuritaro in settings like coffee shops, sushi restaurants, and cake shops, has gained immense popularity online. While it's unclear if Kuritaro understands the context, both his owner and fans find it irresistibly cute.
