Two dog owners meet while out on a walk, and they cannot be more polar opposites with their dogs and some of their approaches to life. Chiharu-san is the owner of Tsuba-chan, a Rottweiler who has a calm disposition. Chiharu is a smaller woman but has incredible strength and a commanding control over Tsuba's training. On the other hand, there's Kiyotaka-san, a strong but slightly timid owner of Monjuro, a hyper and tiny Pomeranian a fraction of the size of Tsuba. Chiharu and Kiyotaka continuously run into each other on walks and through their respective jobs. This volume finishes out with Chiharu reminiscing about how she adopted Tsuba.
