The sight of dogs wearing clothes is a common one in Tokyo, and said pets are invariably of a rather diminutive nature, with the likes of miniature dachshunds and especially chihuahuas incredibly popular.
But this ridiculously dressed little fella is quite possibly the smallest dog I’ve ever seen — its tiny size inevitably garnering almost cacophonous cries of, Kawaii! Excited squeals that sadly only got louder when the poor beast rather pathetically tried to show its displeasure.
Maybe it doesn’t like to be part of what looks obviously like a “freak-show”
And it’s interesting how his paws are very similar to the goat’s ones…
Yeah, and totally understandable.
That’s a really good point, I hadn’t noticed its paws. Very unusual.
Daftest owner of that poor, bonzai dog!
Very very true…
Very cute miniature dog!!
Perhaps it’s feeling anxiety or even fearful as so many people around.
Yes. The owner loved the attention it brought him. The dog, on the other hand, didn’t.
I know it’s awful, and I hate myself for it, but there are few things cuter than a teeny little doggy trying to be ferocious. Poor thing.
Don’t worry, I’m sure it’ll get over it!
I’m happy to say that our 15-year old cat could kick that “dog’s” ass.
Yes, and quite easily I would imagine. Whatever it is, it’s about as far removed from the traditional Tosa as it’s probably possible to get.
The Japanese once had a proud “dog culture.” I realize that most people don’t have space for a couple of Akitas (and they can be a bit vicious anyway), but I seem to see the once ubiquitous Shiba here in the States as much as I ever did in Tokyo.
Maybe it’s because I’m a fan and always look out for them, but there do seem to be a lot more Shiba-ken about these days. Nowhere near the number of chihuahua, of course, but a good amount nonetheless.
Ah, but it looks rather well connected to people in higher places

Haha, very high places!
