Russia&#8217;s Alina Zagitova, who won the gold medal in women&#8217;s figure skating at the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics, posted a &#8220;too-cute photo of her and her dog Masaru&#8221; on her Instagram account and it&#8217;s creating a buzz. The photo has received a flood of comments such as &#8220;nice,&#8221; &#8220;cute,&#8221; and &#8220;beautiful.

Zagitova released four photos, including one where she is hugging her beloved Akita dog, Masaru. Zagitova is wearing a bold white tank top and has her arms around Masaru&#8217;s neck with a gentle smile on her face. Her deep affection for Masaru oozes out. In addition, she also showed a picture of herself kissing Masaru. This is an irresistible post for fans.

She wrote, &#8220;For the past four years, my heart has been filled with love from the kind, loving, fluffy Masaru! I was so happy. And today is his birthday.
For as long as I can remember, I&#8217;ve wanted to have a big, smart, purebred dog. After winning the Olympics, I decided to get a fluffy Akita.
Shows and exhibitions, TV, training, travel&#8230;. Masaru and I have been through a lot. She and I are inseparable!
May you all find a best friend who can give you such pure love! I sincerely hope so. As I write this post, I just want to hug her.&#8221;
Masaru is a female Akita dog donated by the Akita Dog Preservation Society after Zagitova fell in love at first sight with an Akita dog in Japan, where she stayed before the Pyeongchang Olympics, where she won a gold medal. Her name means &#8220;victory. She just turned four years old this month.
She seems to be receiving Zagitova&#8217;s affection on a regular basis, and often appears on Instagram. She has been using the Storchy function to show a picture of Masaru slogging through the snow, which is just too cute. I&#8217;m sure there are many fans in Japan who wish they could be Masaru too.
We can&#8217;t take our eyes off Zagitova and Masaru any more. &#8230;&#8230;

 I'm not sure if you've seen the video, but I'm sure you've seen it. I like it.
