This bear resembling, friendly creature brings joy to all who reside in this house. Seven year old American Akita named Kuma happily smiles for the camera. She loves to go for car rides, walks in the park, and just chill with her family. Studies show that having a dog by your side can help relieve stress and provide good company. One study even discovered that being in contact or communicating with a dog can help lower blood pressure! How can you not resist such an adorable face? Photo by Kenneth Wong 2017.
