Japan’s fondness for dainty and diminutive dogs shows no sign of fading, with miniature mutts milling about all over the metropolis. But having a canine that is considered cute is apparently not good enough anymore, with clothes and carrying contraptions deemed de rigueur — the former, in particular, now so normal that it’s increasingly unusual to see a not so big dog naked.
And then even when one does, it seems natural colourings clearly aren’t cute enough.

how that dog has that pink tail?
Thomas Gantz says
I had no idea they had taken things that far that they are dying the pets now
C says
as a fellow gaijin on this island and following your work for 3 years i would love to be able to meet and take glorious pictures with you some day……how to mate kansai and kantou?
Lee says
If you are ever in Tokyo, I’d be more than happy to meet up and go out taking pictures. Or similarly if I’m in Kansai.
Brett says
It looks so much a tail, as a poppy growing out of the dog’s arse.
Brett says
Sorry, that should be a thistle, not a poppy. My botanical skills aren’t the best.
Phil says
So it’s true – every dog has his dye!
Meghan says
I love that doggie so cutie and rockabilly in a way. If I had a doggie I would groom her ankle hair to be the most poofy part of legs and dye them pink or purple. What are you guys talking about with photos?
