Croquette

Croquette is a Shiba Inu and one of the two pets owned by Hiro and Mao. Even though she is female, Mao and Hiro praises her with "good boy".

She has fluffy red fur and is shown to have grown quite a lot since she was first brought to the Nakamura household. She is always seen greeting any of them at the door when the return home.

Hiro placed an order for her shortly after Mao came to stay with him. One reason Hiro bought Croquette was so that Mao wouldn't be so lonely and so that she could have company. Croquette lives indoors and shares her residence with Hiro, Mao, Daiki and Wakaba and sleeps in the living room. For breakfast, she eats dog food soaked in milk. Being a dog, she is shown more often in the manga than Wakaba as she spends time with the family outside their home as well. Her name was suggested by Hiro and derived from the online novel authored by Mao of a dog with the same name.

Croquette is shown to have a rather inquisitive and playful personality but is also fairly obedient as shown when she and Mao waited outside for Hiro to come back or when Hiro brought her to the crowded night market. She is often seen in the arms of one of the three members of the Nakamura household but actually hates being picked up or kissed, even so, she usually tolerates the cuddling. [1]
