Here are some charming photos of Akita dogs we received from their owners. The photos capture the sheer joy and happiness in their dogs’ smiles, set against a backdrop of beautiful flowers.
Gin (seven-year-old male)
We dropped by the Ishida Rose Garden during the walk. Although the roses were not yet in full bloom, when we pointed the camera at him and said, ‘You’re so cute,’ he gave us a beautiful smile. He’s a boy who looks great in pink!” (Kaho Hiraizumi – Odate City, Akita Prefecture)
Haru (left in the photo, five-year-old female), Raidenmaru (one-year-old male)
“These two seem to be saying, ‘The rain radar said it would rain, so we wore our raincoats, but it’s not raining!’” (Mina Sato – Sayama City, Saitama Prefecture)
