Dogs are the best creature on earth and every dog lover will agree to it. There are so many breeds of dogs that you can find and the Shiba is one among them. It is the smallest of the six original Japanese dogs (Shikoku Inu, Kai Ken, Hokkaido, Kishu Inu, and Akita Inu) which were all bred before the 19th century in Japan.

And recently a Japanese photographer MasayoIshizuki is also known as ISSY-RIDER who captures the beauty of nature and everything else was taking pictures in Hitachi Seaside Park in Tsukuba, Ibaraki prefecture with his dog Hachi, a Shiba Inu. The photographer captured Hachi posed against breath-taking floral backdrops of the beautiful flowers that are there in the Hitachi Seaside Park.

Hachi the Shibu Inu loves playing in flowers almost as much as his owner loves taking pictures of him posing with them

Ishizuki said that he started taking pictures of her dog Hachi back in 2012 and posted them to his own Instagram page. "He looks really sharp in flowers and is ridiculously cute," she said. Well, she is not the only one who thinks that her dog is cute, the Internet thinks the same as Shiba Inu now has 2.5m Instagram followers.

Because of their lineage and personality, Shibas are the number one companion dog in Japan, according to the American Kennel Club. These dogs are high in energy and while they can be standoffish to strangers they demonstrate fierce loyalty to their owners. Hachi is not Ishizuki’s first Shibu Inu, “Before that, I lived with Shiba Inu “Ron”, but he died in December 2015.”

Shibu Inus have become so intertwined into Japanese culture that they have three different words to describe ‘the essence of a Shiba.’ Kan-i – which refers to their alertness and bravery; Ryosei – which means being good-natured, loyal, and obedient; and soboku – which describes their easy, natural good looks.

Shibas may be good-natured, however, on the other side, they demonstrate what one could call diva qualities. When under distress these dogs release a human-like wail. Possible causes of stress can include baths or having their nails clipped. Luckily Shibas are also known for being very clean dogs almost akin to cats and will lick their paws or avoid walking in puddles. Their coats are dirt-repellent so their owners don’t need to wash them as much as other breeds.

Photoshoots with Hachi are set at Hitachi Seaside Park, which is home to a wide variety of colorful flowers and grasses that bloom throughout the seasons. For example, the park houses an estimated 4.5 million nemophila plants which, when in season, make the fields look as blue as the sky above them. Other flowers that can be found are tulips, sunflowers, narcissi, poppies, and kochia, which turns the fields red in the autumn. Hitachi spans over 350 hectares, 200 hectares of which are open to the public,

Now that’s one happy-looking dog, wouldn’t you agree?
