Silly Japanese Dogs!

While shopping in Shiyuba, I passed a guy walking four dachshunds wearing sunglases. I had to stop him and, in halting Japanese and gestures, ask for a photo. He was, luckily, not only happy to oblige, but arranged his dogs for the camera. (Perhaps mine wasn't the first request!) I'd say this was another "only in Japan" thing, but I can picture some of my Upper West Side neighbors doing this, too...
