Shiba Inus have always been a popular breed in Japan, where they are originally from, and now they are beginning to gain popularity all around the world for good reason. Yes, they are good hunting dogs, but they are also just so cute!

Check out photos that prove just that. Shibus are downright adorable.

1. Model

This dog is posing like he is a model. Doesn’t it look like he’s thinking, “Paint me like one of your French dogs”? We think he does.

2. Water buddies

What is playtime without a little bit of water? You get to have fun and cool off at the same time! These Shibus have the right idea.

3. Hide and seek

We thought Shibus were smart – and they are – but okay, maybe not the brightest. This one is playing hide and seek and truly thinks that this curtain is keeping him out of everyone’s vision. As long as he is having a good time.

4. Shortie

This Shibu just wants to stand at the table with his friends… Too bad he’s a shortie! We actually think it makes him extra cute though, so power to him.

5. Hop in

Who needs a ride? This Shibu has found out the perfect hack. Just get your owner to add a big basket to their bicycle and have them drive you around everywhere. Sounds like a foolproof plan.

6. Camping buddy

This dog is ready to go on a camping trip and the best part is that he can actually do some of the work! He is managing to carry some supplies, like a blanket, on his back and we admire his strength and dedication.

7. Yoga dog

This dog is flying high up in the sky as his owner does some light yoga with him. We bet he’s got his downward dog yoga pose on lock!

8. I Spy real Shiba…

In a room filled with stuffed animals, can you spot the real Shiba? When you do, you’ll probably feel overwhelmed by all of the cuteness.

9. Bath time!

This Shiba is getting a bath and it is probably the cutest thing in the whole world. Is there anything better than all of the soap-filled fur?

10. Hugs

What’s cuter than one Shiba? Two Shibas, sharing a beautiful hug together. It’s loving moments like these that they really appreciate the most!

11. Tent buddies

Imagine camping out in a tent with your own little Shiba. It sounds like the coziest and cuddliest experience of all time!

12. Have you seen him?

Sometimes signs like these aren’t to alarm you, but to spread joy. We know this one sure does!

Have these photos convinced you that Shibas are the cutest little creatures of all time?! We can’t help but think so.
