Legal Enforcement With Dogs(2023)

Legal Enforcement With Dogs is a Japanese series about Yoshino Hikari, an optimistic young woman who moves to Tokyo chasing a fresh start. After losing her job at a pet salon, she catches the attention of Bailiff Obara Itsuki, a stern official uncomfortable around dogs—until he notices how naturally the animals respond to her. Seeing potential in her gift, Obara recruits Hikari as his bailiff assistant, pairing her rapport with dogs against his legal expertise. Together, this unlikely duo navigates debt collection and enforcement work across Tokyo, where Hikari's warmth and the animals' instincts become unexpected assets in their unconventional partnership. The series blends workplace comedy with the tension of legal proceedings, exploring how two very different people learn to trust each other.
