Meet Maru, The Smiliest Dog In Japan

Meet Maru, a very photogenic 7-year-old male Shiba-Inu dog from Japan. He always looks like he just might be the happiest dog on Earth, which might be why his owners love to photograph and record videos of him. They post regular photo and video updates on his Facebook channel, which is definitely worth checking out, cause even if Maru is just doing regular dog stuff, like eating yogurt, he still looks unbelievably cute doing it!

Maru loves to walk on the beach and play with his toys and he hates thunderstorms and fireworks (much like the rest of the world’s dogs). The difference is that he does everything with a smile. If you don’t believe us, just look at these adorable photos below!

I joined Bored Panda as an image editor back in 2014, during its early stages. It's been quite a journey since then! Over time, I transitioned through different roles until I eventually became the Content Lead. In this position, I now oversee the creation of the viral content published here on Bored Panda. While my primary focus lies in raising awareness about important social issues like gender and race equality, as well as mental health topics, I also enjoy sharing lighter content, such as memes, cat images and intriguing world curiosities. Outside of work, you'll likely find me engaged in one of five activities: planning a vacation, browsing thrift stores, experimenting in the kitchen, watching movies, or spending quality time with my two cats.
