Google Street View is an excellent way of “putting yourself inside the map,” so-to-speak, in order to become familiar with a new place. But Street View usually only provides one point of view — the human point of view.

Google Japan, however, is giving us a sense of what a place looks like for man’s best friend, starting in Odate City, in the Japanese prefecture of Akita, birthplace of the Akita dog breed.

According to the Google Japan Blog (as translated by Google), by attaching a small camera to a harness on the back of three Akita dogs, Asuka, Ako and Puko, Google employees mapped out Odate City with 360-degree views from their perspective.
