A Shiba Inu, once stuck in a pet store and eventually sold for 55,000 yen, has captured the hearts of many online users with its current happy appearance. This story was shared on X (formerly Twitter), with many people commenting, "This child finally found the right person!" The story was shared by X user "Kansaia (@kansaia)", who met the Shiba Inu "Haru" in the summer of 2024.
At that time, Haru had not been adopted despite the price being reduced from 230,000 yen to 55,000 yen. Kansaia felt sorry for Haru but hesitated to take him home due to memories of his previous dog, "Mametarou", who had passed away at the age of 19 years and six months. The experience of caring for an older dog made Kansaia worry about whether he could take on such a responsibility again.
However, he couldn't ignore Haru's presence. After much contemplation, he finally welcomed Haru into his home on August 12, 2024. Initially, Haru was uneasy due to his long stay in the pet store, but after six months of love and care, he celebrated his first birthday with a confident smile. Kansaia's life now revolves around Haru, filled with joy every day.
Haru, once stuck in a pet store, has finally found a home that truly belongs to him. This story has moved many online users, with comments like, "Haru wasn't 'stuck'; he was waiting for the perfect owner," "Haru's fate is truly wonderful," and "Perhaps he is the continuation of Mametarou, coming to find Kansaia."
ペットショップでいつまでも売れず、5万五千円で売られていた柴犬は、本日立派な柴犬になり、1歳を迎えることができました。トリコモナスと戦い、今もお腹は弱い子ではありますが、もうはる中心の毎日です。 19 歳のマメを看取り、次の犬を迎えるということはかなり悩みました。

ヒョロヒョロな犬から、立派な柴犬になりました。そして、はるは、マメが亡くなった1年後の月にマメの産まれた実家の母犬の飼い主さんの亡くなった日と同じ日に産まれたという。
