12. Zamami

Seriously healthy dogs:

Shiro - dog statue that matches Maririn on Zamami. Found at the port. Shiro was a famous dog that swam from Aka to Zamami to be with another dog (Maririn) that he “liked”. They had three litters of puppies together and a movie was made about them.

I don’t think I could swim that myself:
