This post features dogs (mostly).

Dogs are everywhere in Tokyo.

img_6455

Due to limited apartment space, dogs tend to be very small

img_0516

… and are carried in bags…

img_7532

img_9892

…and sometimes baby carriers.

Dogs are treated as family…

… in fact, like children.

img_9881

Strollers are commonly used for dog transit…

Many restaurants are dog friendly.

img_5035

Dogs are always present at my favorite breakfast café.

img_0174

Dogs sometimes outnumber the people.

img_0178c

They are transported in a variety of ways…

img_0511

… and I’ve never witnessed bad behavior (stolen food).

img_0201

This dog is hanging on the wall.

img_0392

And this little guy arrived wearing his own raincoat.

img_0567

This guy is waiting patiently…

img_0564

… and caught the attention of many passing by.

img_1483

Signs, signs, everywhere signs.

img_2190

There are a lot of rules regarding dogs…

Dogs go everywhere…

img_4251

…including the shopping mall.

2015-10-21-disneyland-001

We know this dog well (she endured a lengthy quarantine to be admitted into Japan).

Not all dogs are small in Tokyo.

img_1016

This guy is 25 kg (55 pounds).

img_0977

The big guy is waiting his turn at the water bowl.

img_7567

And why stop at one dog… why not four…

img_9278

… or six!

img_6136

This guy is waiting outside the supermarket

img_7046

There are 2 dogs here (I don’t think they are conjoined)

img_8551

This dog is clearly not interested in Facebook.

img_7228

This bike has dog power.

img_7438

This dog is quite comfortable.

img_7439

I’m not sure if his eyes are sensative to light, or, if it’s a style choice.

img_9363

And finally, what can this be?

img_9337

I’ve never see this before.

img_9334

How clever to use a skateboard for Sunday shopping.

Enjoy. ts
