Haru

There’s a reason The Secret World of Arrietty made over $145 million in the Box Office – it was a real hit. However, not everyone loves Japanese animated films as they belong to a small niche. If it’s not enough to give your dog a The Secret World of Arrietty dog name, then come up with a plan B. Choose a name that relates to the film and a dog in pop culture.

One pooch to fit into that category is Haru. Haru is the name of the housemaid in The Secret World of Arrietty, but also a three-year-old Shiba Inu from the United States. Haru, the housemaid, exists in Sho’s childhood. He recalls spending his summer holidays with his aunt Sadako and her housemaid Haru.

While on holiday, he discovers small creatures called Borrowers who hide away from the human world. They end up with no place to live, so Sho hides them under his floorboard. Haru notices the floorboard looks different, finds the Borrower family, and calls pest control to remove them all. The Japanese voice actor of Haru is Kirin Kiki, with a US and UK dubbing actor of Carol Burnett and Geraldine McEwan.

Haru, the dog, became an internet sensation in 2015, and now has over 410,000 subscribers on YouTube. She has a clothing line called Haru and lives with her owners Peter and Annie with their son Abram.

Haru is a unique and special dog with a whole lot of character. She’s quick to pick up tricks, and these often feature in the videos. For example, in one, the video shows both baby Abram and Haru. There is a bell between them, and they have to ring the bell to get the treat.

Haru quickly learns how to play, getting his fair share of treats for being smart. Different videos show him eating popcorn, knocking down 1,000 dominoes, and trying to stop a fidget spinner. In one of Haru’s best video yet, she drinks fizzy seltzer water for the first time. Within a few laps, she realizes it’s not for her – with some of the best facial expressions to show it.

The Shiba Inu breed is known for its intelligence. They are one of six spitz breeds, native to Japan. They are confident, faithful, charming, and live for up to 15 years. Haru is an excellent example of a lovely Shiba Inu, and also does an excellent job of sharing a name with a character from The Secret World of Arrietty.
