doge
Thought your boss’ attitude was bad? At least they don’t lounge around in a pile of flowers all day!
This is surely only the beginning. We must immortalize the defiant dog’s face in every product we can possibly imagine.
Move over, Roomba Shark Cat, and make way for Roomba Doge! In his own words: “So ride. Much excite.”
Shiba Inu are a breed of dog popular not just in their native country of Japan, but all over the world. Perhaps it’s due to the fame of the internet’s favourite doggie, Doge, or perhaps it’s just because they’re so darn smiley and adorable, but people just can’t get enough of them.
One Japanese site picked out their favourite photos of Shiba Inu living overseas, so join us after the break for a huge dose of Shibe cuteness.
