The Japanese akita dog is known to be intelligent… and apparently pretty knowledgable about coronavirus.
Useful Information + A Little Bit of Fun
We can thank Akita Inu Tourism for this video, a local tourism organization created by a handful of cities in Akita Prefecture (home to the adorable akita inu). And not only did they release the original video in Japanese, but they also made a version in Chinese, and an impressively well-translated English-language version! (If you're curious about what exactly Omochi and the rest are telling us, definitely check it out). The video's popularity has already caused quite a few viewers to comment things like "Once the coronavirus situation calms down, I definitely need to visit Akita!"
