I'm guessing that was a small dog since it only caused minor injuries and most victims were bitten in their legs. How did it manage to get 11 people 😆.

Shikoku ken so medium sized dog.


Onebunchmans

How do you know it was a Shikoku ken ? That’s a hunting breed, and can be medium size to big.

Japanese news is quicker to report. They've already talked to the owner.


Onebunchmans

I see. I used to own one, so it peaked my interest.


timmysaur

Damn i wouldve caught it

People in Japan only ever seem to own tiny yappy fucks. There’s the occasional shiba, but other than them you could add all of the dogs I see on my morning commute together and you still wouldn’t have one proper sized dog between them.


Catssonova

I swear at least half the dogs I see are Shiba Inu. The local puppy shop closed down so I became a bit happier after seeing the little pups wearing diapers all day sit in their glass houses.


justhere4thiss

Me too. Idk why this person says there are only occasionally shibas. I see ALOT. But maybe depends on your area.


Catssonova

It might have to do with space for some places. I'm way outside of Tokyo. Not that anyone has a yard like America though. Gotta watch out for all the little poops scattered on the sidewalks that people don't pick up occasionally. Probably night time walkers, but I've also seen like spaced out poops like they didn't wait for their dog to finish.

Come to Hokkaido if you want to see big dogs. My Bernese is 50kg.


iikun

Sorry, the animal in question is a dog, not a horse


Nessie

Mostly Hokkaido ken up here.


justhere4thiss

It depends on where you live. I see so many shibas around me. Probably half of them.


cacaonima

Gotta go to Akita


Kalik2015

Maybe in Tokyo, yes. But the countryside has a lot more medium to large sized dogs, oftentimes complete mutts.


jonisjalopy

Anecdotal, but 2 of my neighbors when I was near Yokohama had big dogs. I know one was some sort of Wolf Hound and was the nicest horse I'd ever met, lol


exialis

Collective failure to kick it into the sky like a rugby ball.


Interesting_Wish_440

It’s a pretty big dog actually, they showed it on the news


FamousLoser

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a stray dog in the city. Hope they have a good recovery.


Napbastak

Isezaki city in Gunma prefecture is "north of Tokyo"!? Bitch wtf. Try north of SAITAMA


DOUBLEBARRELASSFUCK

This is an American news source, not a Japanese one. There's only three regions in Japan for much of the world: north of Tokyo, west of Tokyo, and Tokyo.


Napbastak

Yeah we should expect better though and it won't happen if we just give them a pass


Moritani

Nah, it’s fine. I’m from Maine, and sometimes it’s just easier to tell Japanese people that I lived north of NYC. You can’t expect Americans to know every prefecture, and you can’t expect Japanese to know every state.


DOUBLEBARRELASSFUCK

It's not "better" for their intended audience. Most Americans have never heard of Saitama.


jb_in_jpn

And rightly so. Most people in most countries - by a gulping margin - wouldn’t be able to locate globally unimportant cities in other countries. Why is Japan different in importance here for Redditors?


DOUBLEBARRELASSFUCK

Saitama isn't even merely globally unimportant; it's locally unimportant.


Napbastak

They don't say Saitama. Don't say Tokyo either. Just say Japan then

Is it necessary to speak so foul language?

DOUBLEBARRELASSFUCK

Some of us just like to keep things wholesome around here. Is there anything wrong with that?


Napbastak

Is it necessary for you to try and tone police people?


Synaps4

I get why this made news in japan. What I don't get is why it then became news in america.


jellogecko826

Fucking hell. I hope those children are alright, nothing too major. I keep seeing dog attacks pop up in the UK subreddit as well. Odd coincidence I suppose.


AMLRoss

Except those dogs are XL Bullies and kill people.


jellogecko826

Right! I forgot that detail.


MidBoss11

I remember a Tosa got loose in the countryside and they sent out a taskforce of volunteers, animal control and police to find the dog lol. This one's probably a cutie yappy dog, kids go towards it to pet it and it bites back


TheNinaBoninaBrown

People hoping it was not an immigrant dog in 3… 2… 1…


TheIndragaMano

Poor guy was almost halfway to Tactical Nuke before the cops got ‘em


saminfujisawa

Slow news day. Man bites dog, news at 11.


donarudotorampu69

biwook out here doing Dog’s work


fac_051

This is a daily occurrence in Nara with deer


Upstairs-Ad8823

Stray Dog, Nagare Inu, is a great Japanese movie


mostie2016

I hope the dog didn’t have rabies and the kids are okay.


Key-Term-1067

Let’s guess: you’re Americans living in Dasaitama….. No God or Ned here. Kiwi. Classier. Chur bro


troutfinger

Rabies? That's got to be risk from a dog that is biting so many people "The brains of animals with rabies deteriorate. As a result, they tend to behave bizarrely and often aggressively, increasing the chances that they will bite another animal or a person and transmit the disease." Wikipedia
