Starting in May, the Akita Inu News has worked on a new project titled “Proud Akita Dogs.” Here are some charming photos of Akita dogs we received from their owners.
Botan (one-year-old female)
“I took this photo during our regular evening walk. It was such a beautiful sunset, making us feel almost nostalgic. Botan looked so serious and funny having a flower petal stuck on her nose. I ended up taking more pictures of her than the sunset.” ― (Tatsuya Wada, Yamagata City, Gifu Prefecture)
Reo (left, six-year-old male) Raiya (center, four-year-old female) Haruto (four-year-old male)
“We visited Seishi Park to see the cherry blossoms in full bloom. I’m happy I got this shot of Mt. Chokai, cherry blossoms, and my three Akita dogs. The trio loves their outings.” ― (Kaoru Todo, Akita City)
