Whether they’re sleeping, travelling or playing, the way these sisters face the world together will melt your heart!
When it comes to dogs, we can’t deny we have a soft spot for the Shiba Inu Japanese dog breed. With their adorable, smiley faces, they’ve captured our hearts during bathtime, in the playground, and even while poking their heads out at us from bushes on the street. Now it’s time to meet two miniature “Mame Shiba Inu” (lit. “Bean Shiba Dogs”), a breed that grows to only half the usual size, who are adopted sisters and are always pictured side-by-side. A peek into their adorable photo collection gives us a beautiful insight into the world of puppy sisterhood, and their cute poses remind us how wonderful that bond can be in all walks of life!
▼ Born six months apart, older sister Natsu (“Summer”), pictured below left, and younger sister Fuyu (“Winter”), below right, do everything together!
To get an idea of their miniature size, this is what the cute duo looks like when pictured next to their Saint Bernard friend.
Born in May and November of 2015, the two have been together since Fuyu was a tiny pup, when she joined the family at less than ten weeks-of-age.
After a period of getting to know each other, the two quickly became inseparable.
One of their favourite things to do is use each other as comfy pillows during naptime.
Fuyu sleeps peacefully when her older sister is there to cuddle her!
Now that Fuyu’s a little more grown up, the two sisters take on the world together. Whether it’s enjoying the flowers in spring…
…or travelling to see the sites with their human!
These sisters always see the world by each other’s sides!
And, most importantly, they know how to have fun together too.
And even when they tire themselves out from too much partying, they never leave each other alone!
Whether you’re human or animal, sisterhood can be a beautiful thing. To join the cute siblings on more of their fun adventures, be sure to follow them on Instagram!
