Looking over the edge of the train platform (from March the 4th's shot). They were very curious about the people above them.
I've made it up to 500 images! I've now decided to drop 'Daroru' and go with 'Daryl'. Because that's my name.

@ManuelaR: The white one seemed very friendly. Don't worry, this was right next to their owner's house...

@Lorraine: Lorraine, this was basically the garden of their house. Don't worry, very near their owners! And as for being hot, it was New Year, so luckily it was absolutely freezing cold.
Maybe...they get the "show" quite seldom! Maybe...they hope somebody's going to give them some water, it seems the owner forgot this minimun form of caring!

@Japanalia: I don't think they were too neglected (see above,,,). I think people maybe throw the odd bit of food down to them, as we did!
But I bet they wouldn't like you stepping on their patch - friendly from a distance I would think

@Richard_Irwin: We saw them down on the ground as well, the white one was very pleased to see us; the beige shiba was a bit more wary!

@Evelyn: Thanks Evelyn!
I hate to see dogs chained like that. It makes me want to take a chain to the owners.

@Twelvebit: Its pretty common here. This was right by their house though, basically the owners' backyard. Its not seen as anything strange or cruel in Japan for bigger dogs to be chained up outside, and these dogs were quite happy things, not nervous or aggressive, suggesting they weren't being mistreated. However, like you, I personally would not treat my dogs this way...
