Shiro (シロ, Shiro) is a white, fluffy pup Shin-chan found in a cardboard box early in the series. While a beloved member of the family, he is the subject of neglect thanks to his owner's forgetfulness and short attention-span. He is a very intelligent dog, often presenting logic and intellect that surpasses his human owners. As his meals from the Noharas are at best inconsistent, he has developed a talent for foraging, though other times he has to eat Misae's failed culinary experiments. An oddly human-like dog, he is very responsible and painstakingly careful. He takes care of his owners diligently, though often they do not realize his help or understand what he is trying to show them. His doghouse also often ends up becoming a place for Shin-chan to hide himself or something he doesn't want his family to find. He often plays protector to Himawari, more often than not sacrificing his well being in the process. He is known as Lucky in the Vitello and Phuuz dubs. He is known as Whitey in the Funimation dub, and he has an added British voice over. It is mentioned that he had a brother named "Blackey" that was also owned by Shin's family who was hit by a car. He is known as Whitey in the LUK Internacional dub.
