Shiba Inu is afraid of thunder from a young age and only dares to sleep when held by its owner.

There are many breeds of pet dogs, and when you get to know them, you'll find that their personalities and temperaments vary greatly.

Huskies are considered "brainless" and act without thinking, often being criticized for not following the rules. On the other hand, common dog breeds like Golden Retrievers, Border Collies, and Poodles are highly intelligent, and most people who like them do so because of this.

Have you ever seen a dog that only dares to sleep when its owner holds it every day?

Shiba Inus are timid and have been afraid of thunder since they were puppies.

A man named Kate immigrated to Canada more than ten years ago. Because of his good living conditions, and with his family's consent, Kate raised two Shiba Inus. Owning dogs had been his childhood dream.

The Shiba Inu was adopted last April and is now over a year old. Since the owner did not intend to breed the dogs, they were all spayed or neutered.

Male dogs are actually more timid; they'll hide under the bed in fear when it thunders.

A week after the dog arrived at its new home, a thunderstorm struck.

It happened to be a weekend, and thunder suddenly sounded in the afternoon. Thunder was nothing to the male owner, but it was terrifying enough for the Shiba Inu. The Shiba Inu was terrified when it heard thunder for the first time. It didn't know where the sound was coming from, so it hid under the bed.

The owner became anxious when he saw the Shiba Inu hiding. He tried many ways to get the dog out, but all of them failed.

The dog is too scared; it seems we can't bring it out for the time being.

Knowing that Shiba Inus are timid and afraid of thunder, the owner became more cautious from then on.

The weather in March and April is often rainy with thunderstorms. Every time it gets dark, the owner worries that it will rain, and he even took time off work to go home.

Two days later, it started raining again. It happened to be at night, and the owner knew the dog would be scared again, so he held the Shiba Inu and let it lie on him to sleep. Unexpectedly, this method worked. Although the thunder was louder than last time, the Shiba Inu seemed much calmer.

From then on, the Shiba Inu developed a "bad habit"—it would only sleep if its owner held it.

Every time it rains, the Shiba Inu comes to its owner and starts to act cute in front of them. The dog's purpose is very clear: it wants its owner to hold it. Of course, the owner is very generous with their love for their furry friend and always holds the Shiba Inu tightly.

As spring passed and thunder became less frequent, the Shiba Inu still couldn't break its habit of coming to its owner whenever it rained, and now the owner has to hold it to sleep on rainy days.

When a Shiba Inu reaches adulthood, it weighs over 20 kilograms, which puts some pressure on its owner.

A friend came over to visit the pet owner, but it happened to be raining, so the pet owner had to leave the friend behind to take care of the dog.

A friend came to visit the owner, and it started raining shortly after they arrived. The Shiba Inu heard the pattering rain outside and ran to its owner's side. Seeing the owner on the sofa, it made a low growl, just like it always does. The owner naturally understood the Shiba Inu's purpose and picked it up.

The friend was left out in the cold by the owner, while the Shiba Inu lay on its owner with a smile on its face. It seems this guy is quite cunning.

After its owner got a girlfriend, the Shiba Inu didn't behave at all, which made the woman unhappy.

Three or four months ago, the pet owner got a girlfriend. Luckily, his girlfriend also loved dogs. However, after the girlfriend arrived at her boyfriend's house, she found that she was not as popular as she had imagined, because the dog still liked to stick to its owner, and just like before, the Shiba Inu would want its owner to hold it whenever it rained.

Even though there's no thunder on rainy days now, the Shiba Inu still tries to steal its male owner away.

The woman came home from get off work and saw her boyfriend with the Shiba Inu.

The arrival of the female protagonist seems to have put pressure on the Shiba Inu. It may have realized that the male owner spends most of his time with his girlfriend, so it has started to compete with the female protagonist for "person".

Shiba Inu puppies are timid, and they're still like that now that they're grown up. Maybe they just want to cling to their owners?

Female lead: You're already a year and a half old and you still think you're a little puppy?

Don't let their seemingly dull appearance fool you; dogs can be quite cunning.
