The internet just can’t get enough of Shiba Inu lately, and it’s not hard to see why. I mean, just look at that face!
▼ Who could possibly resist that happy little face?! I know I couldn’t!

Netizens of course went gaga over the cuteness crammed into this photo, although one commenter expressed a slight sense of fear, and someone else saw a touch of madness to the canine’s grin. “Don’t be fooled by the smile!” warned another.
Looking at it again, I now feel I can detect a hint of malice behind the smile, a sense that if the owner refuses to share the ice cream then they’re in for a world of hurt. But since no one can refuse a Shiba Inu, I’m sure everything worked out just fine!
Seeing as it’s almost the weekend and you’ve no doubt had a tough few days, we’ll keep things simple and make this one a yes-no question.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
