Akita dogs Eito (or “Eight”) and his sister Hina are part of the hospitality crew at the Royal Hotel Ōdate in Akita Prefecture. This July a group of people from near and far assembled for a party to celebrate their second birthdays, and hotel staffers prepared a birthday cake for each of them. The dogs may not know they’re two, but they seemed to enjoy the celebration!
