Although this article does not advocate superstition, since we have entered the taboo-filled "Ghost Month" in July, it is wise to be cautious when going out. However, sometimes one can unintentionally scare themselves, especially when getting up at night to use the bathroom or while playing video games. It's possible for a pet to suddenly appear and cause a fright—whether one should find it scary or cute is debatable.
According to a Japanese Twitter user, Shiba Inu Shishimaru (@sisi3po), he was engrossed in a game late at night with the lights off, making the room somewhat dark. At that moment, he looked up and saw his pet Shiba Inu smiling at him. The only light source in the room was his computer screen, which cast a shadowy appearance on the smiling dog. This unexpected sight left him feeling confused about whether it was scary or adorable.
Clearly, he wasn't the only one feeling mixed emotions. After posting this tweet, many netizens also expressed their confusion in the comments. While the dog's expression was undeniably cute, the lighting created an oddly dramatic effect that made the smiling Shiba Inu appear somewhat eerie. Nevertheless, even if it was meant to create a spooky atmosphere, seeing that face makes it hard to feel truly scared.
たくさんの方にししまるを見てもらえてとても嬉しいです！☺️
