It turns out that the Shiba Inu is ranked first in terms of DNA closeness to the wolf. That’s why their howl is so reminiscent of a wolf’s—it’s in the genes. It also has two other noticeable traits—a fox-like pounce into snow or grass as if hunting for mice, and a clear reaction to strange dogs—he presses his chin to the ground and moves in small bounds, hiding behind trees, approaches the dog, and at the last moment can leap forward in one bound.
As I write this, he just can’t stop howling. He howls and runs between the door, the backyard, and the balcony.
