This lost dog is fifteen years old, according to the poster. The family members love him so much -- you can the love in these simple photos. I hope he will get back to his family very soon.

I believe it's been there for about ten months. I hope the dog has already got back to her family...

If you are interested in kanji (漢字), I reccomend this page:
portal.nifty.com/2006/04/15/c/

There you can see ”つぎへ＞" at the bottom right just below a picture. Click on it nine times, they explain how the 犬 letter was born.

But after you see the 犬, basically it's all jokes. The author says "If a dog is represented in this way, how about a cat? A giraff?"

A few days ago, Terry Bain commented on my dog picture with links.

I read two pages at amazon.com, and went straight to amazon.co.jp because I live in Japan, and voila! It's here today.

Thank you, Terry, for telling me that my dog was trying to protect me from the evil vacuum! I thought he just hated my mother's lovely vacuum cleaner.

The stories on Terry's blog make me somewhat emotional, because our dog used to be a miserable stray dog before he came to our house. After almost 18 years at our home, he died peacefully, hearing all the family say "thank you".

I know someone in Tokyo who adopted a nearly-stray female dog. She had been kept by a homeless old man, and when he died, she had nowhere to go but a dog rescue team. She was a crossbred of Shiba and Siberian Huskie, and quite large, so had a long wait until she found a new family. I met the dog only once, but I can say she's a gentle, thoughtful soul.
