These traits were once put to the test at the London Zoo when a Sumatran tiger cub was orphaned. The zookeepers needed special help in raising the cub, and they chose an Akita puppy for this important task. The Akita served in the role successfully and “retired” from the job when the tiger reached near-adulthood.
The Akita does not back down from challenges and does not frighten easily. Consequently, they are fearless and loyal guardians of their families.
Yet they are also affectionate, respectful, and amusing dogs when properly trained and socialized.
