This article starts with a Shiba Inu, and we believe that seeing this adorable dog will brighten up your day. Today's topic is about a Shiba Inu who loves to cause trouble while its owner plays the Switch. This isn't just about the video we're sharing today; many videos online show pets interacting with their owners when they're gaming. From a pet expert's perspective, these actions are not just random; they have a purpose.
Our star today is a one-year-old Shiba Inu named Fūta, who is the most energetic and cheerful member of the family. Everyone loves Fūta, and the owner spends a lot of time with the dog, even creating a Twitter account to share their daily life together. Recently, the account "Mameshiba Fuuta" (@futa_mame) uploaded a video that has gained over 2.45 million views. The video shows Fūta placing a small teddy bear on the owner's Switch console while they're playing. Each time the owner removes the toy and continues playing, Fūta picks it up and puts it back, repeating this process three times. During this, Fūta gives the owner a sideways glance, making the scene incredibly funny and adorable.
A Japanese morning TV show even featured this video and invited a pet trainer to analyze the situation. The trainer explained that Fūta isn't being naughty or trying to disturb the owner's gaming session. Instead, the dog wants to play with its owner. The act of placing the toy on the console is simply because Fūta thinks it's a way to play together, mistakenly assuming the Switch screen is part of the game. It's understandable that Fūta wants to play together, but it's unclear whether the dog wants the owner to play with it or if it wants to play video games together. If there were a button that could make Fūta think it's playing video games with its owner, perhaps it could become a fun way for them to play together.
