We just got back from a five day camping trip. There were lots of dogs at the campground, and plenty of dog loving people. As we were walking Dakota, there were several comments along the lines of “Aww, look at the puppy!” and “He’s so cute!”. One person correctly identified him as a Shiba, but for the most part people thought he was a husky puppy or a small fox. In the six years that we’ve had Dakota, I thought I’d heard all the animals he could be mistaken for. I was wrong.
“He looks like a rabbit!” (spoken by a 8-ish year old girl)

I have two Shibas back at home and their adorable. One is golden, like most Shibas, but one is black, and no one can tell what he is. I don’c mind, I like it that way.
