Comment by Kyla on Mieruko-Chan - Chapter 56

@Kyla It's just a dog.

@JAZD I'm genuinely curious as to what it is. It doesn't seem hostile towards the family nor the dad. infact, it's sort of protecting the dad. What relation does it have with them?

@Kyla and what if it's actually hostile, but dad keeps it in check too? And this ghost lady saw the scared dog in the window and decided to back off

@haletod I doubt it's hostile. The only reason the spirit looks as such is due to variant of Miko's perspective. It's definitely been helping protect the family, likely on the father's behest. It could also be a literal extension of him.
