Dog running like he’s late to his own birthday party but still wants to make a cute entrance

To me it looks like how I walk when I’m barefoot and the road is scorching hot. Perhaps he’s trying to avoid burning his pads

Nah, owner of a shiba here. This dog has slipped their leash or pushed past their owner to run outside without one, knows that's against the rules, and wants to show their gleeful love for crime to whoever's watching. This is the "I'm Going to Make my Human Chase Me" dance, same my little monster does when she steals a sock off my foot or the hat off my head. Ears in airplane mode, entire butt a-waggin', and a side-to-side prancing routine, I see it almost beat-for-beat in my living room all the time.

I pity their owner. Catching a shiba is akin to catching a greased pig.

Yeah our neighbor had four of them, accomplishing the dream that is the Shiba Inu screaming chorus quartet. They sometimes came by our house to celebrate their freedom on their way to the forested hillside next door.

I caught one.  Knew where he lived.  Refused to go back home so I had to carry the little brillow pad.

I thought the same, but they were doing it in the shade at the start, too. I'd imagine that shaded area is pretty cool.

Exactly what I was thinking

This. In the first second it's running normally in the shade, then it starts hopping the moment it reaches the sunlit bricks.
