What kind of dog is he? He looks just like a shiba inu, but his colour is similar to this of a shikoku inu. My cynologistic mind is confused.

I would say sesame shiba with darker coloring than most. Looks very similar to my shiba who also has more black in his coat than most sesames.

My dog is like that too with my daughter! I only started letting them near each other about a month and a half ago. I know my dog and she would never do anything, but sometimes even the sweetest dogs can surprise you around babies. The baby might make a noise, or cry, and startle the dog. My daughter and dog love each other though! My dog is very protective of both of us.
Angie Hance 6 years ago
When my nephew was a baby, all the indoor pets would sit and watch him and if we touched him they'd check to see if he was still okay afterward!! And you'd better watch out if he started crying!!! Even if you're 3 rooms away!!! Maybe if you hadn't been in that other room, there wouldn't be anything wrong with him!! It's hilarious to have my mom's little toy poodle come chew me out because the baby started crying. Best babysitters ever! Well, as long as you don't expect the baby to get fed or his or her diaper changed!!!

Actually the thing is we don't deserve animals, not just dogs. Today morning I saw one clip on YT where a Giant blue whale saved a marine scientist from a shark by pushing scientist out of water, in another story an elephant saved a villager from a tiger attack, in another YT clip I saw a cat shoulder bang a dog attacking a small child, dogs saving people from drowning, horses carrying back their hurt masters back to villages, and Many many other such stories from everywhere and of involving various animals. And what we do, kill them for game, eat them, or wear their skin, cut their horns and other heinous crimes against them. And best of all, we put them in ZOO, f*ckng pathetic. Between I am off to Tanzania Next month too see the best friends, probably will create a post here.

When I had a hysterectomy, I was off work for 6 weeks, in bed for the first 2. My border collie mix, Holly, stayed next to me on the bed the entire time. When I would go into the bathroom, she followed, and stayed close. She never left my side until I returned to work.

This makes me miss my 2 boxer girls so much - (the younger one just passed away a few weeks ago). They were always there beside me when I was sick, hurt, or just sad. Although it isnt easy being snuggled and comforted by 1101b of dogs when you have a broken elbow lol. They would always leap in uncontrolled exitement when I came home from work then bring me gifts of all their favorite toys - bless them

Mt dog knows when I'm sad or depressed and he does exactly what I'd want any human to do; give me space and check on me periodically. He lightly pushed the door and looks at me, i say "hey, pup. Thanks for checking on me." and he nods (weird, but appreciated) and goes about his business. If I'm actually crying, he'll come boop my nose with his own nose or lick my face or hand. Sometimes he'll lay next to me, if I tell him "I'm fine" and push him away. His face is rather expressive so I can tell he can see think I'm not fine but he respects that I want to be alone and goes away. And the cycle continues. Such a good boy, though when I'm in a good mood he ignores me and barks loudly when I say he can't run away and live in the woods with the wild animals

These are all such beautiful dogs. Their devotion deserves the very best we can give of our love and care in return. All animals are amazing creatures but dogs do so much for us - we train them to help sniff out mines, drugs, people, to warn us of seizures, low blood sugar, to tackle people on the run, to guide us and help us in the home and so very much more. They deserve the title of Man's Best Friend. We don't deserve them really.

Argo, my hooligan corgi is 15 months old and perhaps too young to understand sickness, for he never acts like that when I'm sick. However, he sacrifices his own comfort even during summer and stays covered with a blanket just in order for me to hug him in the morning. Perhaps I'm wrong to judge him as a stubborn bad dog.
The Laugh Fan 6 years ago
Argo is just very young still. My youngest dog is only one year and she's still at the 'glares at me when she doesn't get her own way' stage. My previous dog definitely new when I was sick and she was blind and partially deaf.

Whenever I lay down during daytime when i'm home, my maine c**n kitty always comes to the bed, checks first if I'm alive with her nose, only then she lays down and stays there for the rest of my nap. Animals are true friends, devoted, unconditional and always there for you. Cherish each and every moment with them.

Abby Milonas 6 years ago
My dogs have always been very close, and if you pick up one then the other has to follow right behind. One evening, just a few months after we first got them, I was carrying Teddy down the stairs with Elli following at my heels, when I lost my footing and fell flat on my bum and started crying. Teddy was sufficiently freaked out and leaped out of my arms, but Elli tentatively climbed into my lap and began licking my tears away (which of course made me cry harder, but from joy). Aside from this incident, however, those selfish little sh*ts have never gone out of their way to comfort or protect me unless they get treats and belly rubs in return. Which, granted, is not a major burden. I still love them to death.

I don't have a pic unfortunately but let me say i relate. I own 3 dogs, a cat and a crested gecko ( she even helps me). But my fur babies all boost me up. In the most amazing ways. When im hurt, depressded, anxious, nervous. They are my life line as much as i am theirs. I would be lost without them. I am disabled and I have seizures. My big dog is not trained for it but knows on instinct what to do. My 2 small dogs are trained in anxiety and travel to the store so I can get my shopping done with as few panic attacks as possible. On my worst days at home they all will just lay by me. Even my cat ( and a lot of people think cats are selfish creatures but they aren't). Animals are what you raise them to be.
