Akitas, an ancient Japanese breed, are known for their reserved nature, often hiding their emotions. Kuma, a stoic Akita, perfectly embodied this trait.

However, during a grooming session with Vanessa, a Canadian dog groomer known as “Girl with the Dogs” on YouTube, Kuma displayed an unexpectedly delightful change.

Vanessa, with her extensive knowledge of various dog breeds and their characteristics, shares entertaining and informative experiences from her daily life on her YouTube channel.

Most of her canine clients openly express their feelings, but Kuma was an exception, maintaining a calm demeanor that bordered on meditative.

Originally from Japan, Akitas were used as protectors, hunters, and fighters due to their aggression. Their loyalty also made them ideal guardians for royal families.

Vanessa approached Kuma’s grooming with a mix of curiosity and caution.

Initially, Kuma’s expression reminded Vanessa of a “disappointed father after a parent-teacher meeting,” a humorous observation that resonated with her online audience.

However, as Vanessa began using the hairdryer, Kuma’s serious facade melted away. His hind legs started trembling ecstatically, and he leaned into the warm device, clearly enjoying the sensation.
