Tiko is Law Dog of the Week

By Diane Murley

Our first Law Dog of the semester is Tiko, who belongs to Margaret Hill, an ASU Law 2L. Margaret says:

“Tiko” is my dog’s name. He is a three year old Shiba Inu.

Probably the oldest breed in Japan Shiba’s are hunting dogs indigenous to dense, low forests. “Shiba” actually means low brush and Inu means dog . . . literally “brush dog”.

Shiba’s are independent, intelligent and athletic. When properly socialized they are great with kids and other dogs.

Tiko has traveled widely with me. He loves beach and ski slopes alike but his favorite haunts are: the couch and his den (under my daughter’s bed). He’d like to come to school but “oh dear” he’d be a terrible distraction.
