Put your shiba inu on a magazine cover.
Upload one photo and your shiba inu becomes this month's cover star of Modern Mutt — deadpan interview, suspiciously specific stats, a feud with the usual suspects, the works. Free to make and share. The clean, frame-ready file is $7.99.
What makes shiba inus good cover material.
A cat's temperament in a fox's outfit. The oldest and smallest of Japan's native breeds, the Shiba came close to disappearing after the Second World War and was rebuilt from three surviving bloodlines, which may go some way toward explaining the self-possession. They are independent, fastidious, and will comply when it suits them, which is rarely and never on camera. The interview is the standout slot here — a shiba does not answer questions, it declines to comment.
Three shiba inus, three completely different covers.
Nothing below is a template with a shiba inu's name dropped into it — it is what the engine actually wrote for three different shiba inus, from three different sets of answers.
Poppy — a derpy, anxious shiba inu, sworn enemy of that tail, best known for the guilt stare:
Apologizing for Absolutely None of It
- The long look — No blinking. No barking. Just quiet, patient pressure.
- Betrayed by the tail — A lifelong feud with the back end. Still losing.
- A shiba of rare distinction — Setting a standard the others pretend not to notice
"I don't ask for much. I simply expect all of it."
1,697 treats negotiated · 57 tail standoffs survived · 4 dramatic sighs per hour
Scout — a dignified, lazy shiba inu, sworn enemy of the Roomba, best known for zoomies:
"I Have Never Been Wrong"
- The 8pm zoomies — A nightly lap record nobody asked to be set
- A shiba of rare distinction — Setting a standard the others pretend not to notice
- Dog versus machine — A disc with a plan, and a dog with a problem
"People say I've changed. I haven't. That's the problem."
1,214 treats negotiated · 14 Roomba standoffs survived · 7 dramatic sighs per hour
Ziggy — a lazy, regal shiba inu, sworn enemy of the mailman, best known for counter-surfing:
She Breaks Her Silence
- The high ground — Nothing left unattended has ever survived the review
- Off the clock — Retired at birth, and thriving under the new arrangement
- A shiba of rare distinction — Setting a standard the others pretend not to notice
"Fame hasn't changed me. I still eat off the floor."
1,653 treats negotiated · 24 mailman standoffs survived · 4 dramatic sighs per hour

What do I get with a shiba inu cover?
Making and sharing the cover is free (it carries a small watermark). The paid download is a clean, watermark-free 8.5×11 file at 320 DPI for $7.99 — it prints true-size on letter paper at home or at any print shop.
How does it work?
Upload one photo of your shiba inu, pick a personality, a sworn nemesis, and a signature move — our deadpan editorial engine writes the whole cover in about 60 seconds. No account needed.
Is my photo kept private?
Yes. Covers live at an unlisted link only you can share, they're never shown publicly or used for advertising, and free covers are automatically deleted after about 30 days.
Can I send it as a gift?
That's the classic move: make the cover free, share the link with family, and anyone — including the grandparents — can grab the print-ready file.
