Star Of Instagram And Our Hearts: Meet Maru The Japanese Shiba Inu
Okay, we've meet many a doggo in our day. Every doggo owner believes his/her doggo is the best in the world. But today, we've found an Instagram star that stands out above all other doggos. Time.com reported that "Maru, a Shiba Inu living in Japan, is everything the Best Dog in the World should be: inspirational, handsome, photogenic, friendly, and, most of all, fluffy. He is so, so fluffy."
"Neither hyperactive nor aloof, Maru's personality is truly what makes him 'the world's dog.' He's mellow enough to cuddle with at night, fun enough to play fetch, and he isn't above a sprightly dance or a totally spontaneous freakout. Can't you imagine him at your feet as you read this? Don't you want to pet him? Don't you want to squeeze him? Don't you love that his name is Japanese for 'round'?" via Time.com.
We're sold! The overwhelming cuteness radiating from this sweet doggo makes us smile from ear to ear. Every week, we find a pawesome Insta famous animal and let the spotlight shine. This week is no exception! Good vibes only!

Wishing good luck to all the totally awesome Olympic athletes that have gathered in Maru's home country of Japan! We have a hunch that if the athletes look at this image before their matches, they might do better, just a hunch though.

"You might still be thinking that Maru is just a dog. Really, though, he's more than that. Ono began posting photos of Maru after Japan's devastating earthquake in 2011, 'with the hope of easing people's anxiety, even a little bit,' he writes on Maru's website. When people responded to tell him the photos were helping cheer them up, he continued to post three photos a day, every day. Now, four years later, Maru has racked up nearly 2 million Instagram followers." via Time.com.
