From Rescue to Road Trip: A Man and His Shiba Puppy's Japanese Walking and Camping Adventure

The social media traveler has become quite a trend over the last few years with several hoomans embarking on expeditions to far away places, travelling by car, bike, train, plane and by foot, just as this Japanese traveler has been doing for several months.

And while it is wonderful enough that this gentle man set out to discover his own country, it is even cuter that along his journey he stopped to pick up a plucky traveler who wanted to come with him, Shiba the doggo. Together they are not only discovering all the hidden natural gems of Japan, but they are also learning to live together, love together and at the end of a long day walking the trails, curling up in a camping tent together. A more wholesome bond between canine and hooman has hardly been seen lately and we wish them the best as they carry on uncovering the best secret and special spots in Japan.

You know it is rather funny. For just as we view people like this man as those who have taken steps to live their best lives, so has this darling doggo elevated itself (perhaps unknowingly) to live its best life. What could be better for a budding canine than to travel the country monching delicious regional snacks along the way?

What a beautiful moment to experience. While already walking the path less trodden, this kind and caring hooman has elevated his once of a lifetime experience by sharing it with another sweet soul. Just thinking about how this wholesome pair will spend the rest of their days reminiscing about their long walks fills our hearts with joy.
