Cultural Insight: Dogs as Family

In Japanese culture, dogs are often seen as family members rather than just pets. This is reflected in the language, where the word for ‘dog’ 犬 (inu) can be used in a more affectionate and familiar way compared to other languages. Understanding this cultural perspective can deepen your appreciation for the bond between humans and dogs in Japan.
