Bringing you yesterday's news from Japan and Asia, today.
pet shop
Is it love at first sight for this puppy and its human visitor?
Surprise, surprise! Another animal video on the internet has gone viral! The short clip appears to show a woman visiting the dog section of a pet shop. After she picks up an adorable white Pomeranian puppy, it seems to be smitten with her and jumps into her arms over and over again, no matter how many times she places it back in its case.
Japanese Twitter users can’t stop gushing over an assortment of–you guessed it–pictures of cute animals in ridiculous poses at their local pet shops. Since there appears to be a correlation between the time spent squealing over cute critters and human stress levels, we advise you to pull up a chair and start fawning right away if you’re having a less than stellar day!
