A man has been left gobsmacked after his neighbours allegedly complained to the authorities that he was keeping a pet ‘bear’.

On 20 February 2024, a besotted owner shared a picture of his smiling four-legged friend on X, formerly Twitter (@naoyan09 ).

The dog, named Chao Nao, is a KaiKen, a pure Japanese breed, originating in the Yamanashi Prefecture.

The seven-year-old pooch has a large body with thick black fur.

Despite his adorable appearance, he has often been mistaken as being a ‘black bear‘.

Several neighbours have allegedly complained to the animal shelter in Setouchi Coast, Japan, several times after suspecting Chao Nao was a wild animal.

This led to an investigation, causing officials to visit and inspect the home.

Upon their visit, they realised there was no black bear, but instead a cute pup.

Sharing pictures of Chao Nao on Twitter, the pooch has amassed over 3,600 followers and 28,000 likes on his most recent portrait.
