Left-paw Traffic

On the morning walks, we usually walk along a main road with more traffic than on the road where we live. This morning was the first one where Peanut, our new friend from England, went along. Peanut said he was a little uncomfortable with the cars going on the right side of the road. He said vehicles should go on the left side of the road. Peanut said left-paw traffic is the right way.

I have been in many countries with right-paw traffic, like Norway, Denmark, Finlanf, Germany, and Framce. Peanut was born and raised in the United Kingdom, where they have left-paw traffic. We did have left-paw traffic in Sweden until the 3 September 1967, but this was a long time ago. We changed, because all of our neighbours had right-paw traffic.

Peanut did have one great argument for left-paw traffic, however: Japan has left-paw traffic. If the Japanese, and the Emperor, have left-paw traffic, perhaps all countries with Shibas should have it, too? This is not enough. I guess it would be difficult to convince the Swedes and their neighbours to change because of this.
