- Synopsis
- The setting is an urban park in an area constantly under development. Three middle-aged men regularly visit the park with their Shiba Inu dogs and they only ever refer to each other using the names of their dogs. On the bench in the park they discuss dog-related issues and the personalities and foibles of those they encounter in the small town. Tiny issues receive full-blown, almost academic discussions, interspersed with pointed banter and sharp comical takes.
  One Day, a pretty girl enters the park with her beautiful, pure-white Shiba Inu. One of the men, single, in his forties falls head-over-heels for her.
