Akita
Curly-tailed Japanese breed
An Akita is a large, powerful dog breed originating from northern Japan, known for its thick double coat, curled tail, and bear-like head.
Akitas are loyal and protective, often bonding deeply with one owner: The Akita wouldn't leave her side.
The breed became famous through Hachikō, a dog who waited years at a Tokyo train station for his deceased owner.
