市原家の主人が病気のために毎年行っていたい伊勢神宮へのお参りへ行けなくなってしまい、
そこで飼われていた白毛の秋田犬「シロ」を変わりにお参りさせることにしました。
旅費と道順を記したメモには、
『人の言葉が分かるので道順を教えてあげてください。助けてあげてください』
というメッセージを袋に入れて「シロ」の頭から下げ、伊勢神宮に向けて出発させました。
「シロ」は2ヶ月後、約1,322㎞の道のりを無事に帰って来ました。

The master of the Ichihara family couldn't pay an annual visit to the Ise Grand Shrine because of illness.
Instead, he sent his dog "Shiro", a white Akita-inu, to the shrine.
He put a note describing the route that also said "Please show this dog the way as he understands what people say. Please help him." into a bag together with the travel expense and put it around Shiro's neck.
Then, he had Shiro start for the travel to the Ise Grand Shrine.
After 2 months, Shiro came home safely, walking for about 1,322km.
