The Akita (秋田犬, Akita-inu) is a large breed of dog originating from the mountainous northern regions of Japan. There are two separate varieties of Akita: a Japanese strain, commonly called "Akita Ken" in Japan, "Akita Inu" ("inu" means "dog" in Japanese), "Japanese Akita"; and an American strain, known as the "Akita" or "American Akita". The Japanese strain comes in a narrow palette of colors, with all other colors considered atypical of the breed, while the American strain comes in all dog colors. The Akita has a short double coat, similar to that of many other northern spitz breeds such as the Siberian Husky, but long coated dogs can be found in many litters due to a recessive gene.
The Akita is a powerful, independent and dominant breed, commonly aloof with strangers but affectionate with family members. As a breed, Akitas are generally hardy, but they have been known to suffer from various genetic conditions and be sensitive to certain drugs.
In most countries, the American strain of Akita is now considered a separate breed. In the United States and Canada, however, the two strains are considered a single breed with differences in type. For a while, the American strain of Akita was known in some countries as the "Great Japanese Dog". Both forms of Akita are probably best known worldwide from the true story of Hachikō, a loyal Akita who lived in Japan before World War II.
Akita (秋田, autumn ricefield) is a Japanese name and may refer to:
The domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris or Canis familiaris) is a domesticated canid which has been selectively bred for millennia for various behaviors, sensory capabilities, and physical attributes.
Although initially thought to have originated as a manmade variant of an extant canid species (variously supposed as being the dhole,golden jackal, or gray wolf), extensive genetic studies undertaken during the 2010s indicate that dogs diverged from an extinct wolf-like canid in Eurasia 40,000 years ago. Being the oldest domesticated animal, their long association with people has allowed dogs to be uniquely attuned to human behavior, as well as thrive on a starch-rich diet which would be inadequate for other canid species.
Dogs perform many roles for people, such as hunting, herding, pulling loads, protection, assisting police and military, companionship, and, more recently, aiding handicapped individuals. This impact on human society has given them the nickname "man's best friend" in the Western world. In some cultures, however, dogs are a source of meat.

This is my very first youtube video. It's about the difference between the american akita and the japanese akita. Enjoy :D
For those who are interested, here's a full description of the breed: A wonderful family dog - playful, loyal, affectionate and, once trained, extremely well-behaved in the house. Very good guard dog, good with children and people in general (as long as you are not in the process of breaking in, in which case you're on your own), a dog you will love with all your heart and have that love returned with interest. Important to note that Akitas are a very dominant and wilful breed and are not easy to train, so should not be taken on without full research and consideration of what is required. Strong hunting instincts and the need to dominate other dogs should be allowed for when out walking (Basically, they would make good Sumo wrestlers.) Give them plenty of love, train them properly and allo...

A drug deal goes really wrong when an innocent dog eats the evidence. Charlie goes to the Bark & Play in Denver and her owner says one day she got a frightening call saying the dog ate heroin that was tossed over the day care's fence, allegedly by a drug suspect who was fleeing police. Charlie was rushed to a vet and given Narcan, a heroin antidote. She is recovering, but her owner says she could have died and is grateful for the quick-thinking day care workers for taking action.

Hawakan mo ang kamay ko ng napakahigpit,
Pakinggan mo ang tinig ko, oooh di mo ba pansin?
Cho:
Ikaw at ako, tayo'y pinagtagpo
Ikaw at ako, di na muling magkakalayo
Sa tuwing kasama ka, wala nang kulang pa,
mahal na mahal kang talaga, tayo ay iisa
Cho:
Ikaw at ako, tayo'y pinagtagpo
Ikaw at ako, di na muling magkakalayo
Bridge:
Unos sa buhay natin, di ko papansinin
Takda ng tadhana, ikaw ang aking bituin
