This white doggo is notable for his tendency to bite people’s heads. Like his zodiac, he can be aggressive at times despite looking friendly and peaceful in appearance. One of his “favorite” people, who he loves to attack at times is Gintoki, which ends up cosmetically amazing. But be careful when you give him strawberry milk because he will become a large and vicious horned monster!
