Puppy Cam! I Could Watch These Little Pups All Day

 

OMG, how cute are these little pups?!

A San Francisco couple set up a Webcam to watch over their dog’s six puppies while they are away, and 3 million views later those little puppies an international Internet sensation.

The couple put the live video feed on Ustream.TV, where some tech gurus spotted it and passed it along to friends. Now people around the world have tuned in 3 million times to watch the Shiba Inu pups nurse, wrestle and doze.

The puppies’ caretaker and videographer, who asked to remain anonymous says:

 ”We’ve received a number of emails from people who are in hospitals battling various diseases who have told us that they look to the Shiba Inu Puppy Cam as a way to liven up their spirits.”

This is the first litter for the pups’ mom, Kika, who wanders in and out of the puppies’ crate to play with the family’s other dogs. The human parents have rushed home twice to retrieve the now 5-week-old puppies when they left the box.

The puppies’ popularity also surprised Chris Ham, the CEO of Ustream.TV and an Iraq war vet, who started the service so soldiers could talk with their extended families.

“The number one thing internally we’ve come to is that they’re cute,” says Ham, who has the puppy cam playing on a wide screen in the Ustream.TV office.

Many viewers want to buy the puppies, but they’re all already spoken for.

“All puppies are cute. Do your research on the breed to make sure that it is the right fit for your lifestyle and personality,” the dog’s owner advises. “Remember, this is a commitment for life so don’t take these steps lightly.”
