A dog in neighboring house

This dog is kept in a house next door.

Though it is very big, it is gentle.
I suppose the kind of this dog is 'Siberian husky'.
It is called 'shu-u-cha-n'.
After walking, it bathes his forepaws in water of a bucket in summer.
It seems sensitive to heat as it is the dog in the north like the name.

They had been keeping four different kinds of dogs before, but now this is the only one left now as the others have died one after another.

So it is loved very much by his family .
