Hearing

Dogs have superiour hearing to humans. Shibas are, among other great things, excellent watch dogs. We notice when somebody is coming and allert our pack. Unfortunately for our humans, they seldom hear what we hear. This means that they are often surprised that we alarm them by barking. Sometimes, they even get a little angry, but I guess this is just because of the frustration they feel for not hearing as much as we do.They are helped by us, and I know our humans are thankful that we are always watching the house, prepared for just about anything. It does not hurt that it is often quite fun to bark, too.
