I am My Shiba Inu
A Practical, Real-Life Guide to Welcoming, Raising, and Growing with a Happy Shiba Inu


Author: Carlo Gaspare
I Am My Shiba Inu — more than a manual, a shared journey.
The Shiba Inu is not a dog for everyone.
He is an ancient soul in an athletic body, carrying the pride of a samurai and the freedom of a primitive wolf.
Those who choose to live with him are not looking for obedience — they are seeking an authentic relationship.
