SFist has known about the insanely adorable Shiba Inu Puppy Cam since early October, but now the world has caught up. People magazine interviewed the six precious pups' owners, who say, "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."
