Lili is not your typical dog. Living on the beautiful atoll of Fakarava in French Polynesia, this 3-year-old canine has a unique preference for friends that swim in the ocean. Rather than hanging out with other dogs or humans, Lili has formed a special bond with a shark named Sharky. This unusual friendship showcases not only Lili’s love for water but also her fearless spirit.
From a young age, Lili has loved swimming in the lagoon that surrounds her home. Her owner, Emmanuelle Larchet, describes Lili as a “water dog,” and it’s clear that she thrives in the company of the lagoon’s gentle nurse sharks. Lili and Sharky enjoy playful adventures together, making a splash in the warm, clear waters. Their friendship is a delightful sight that always brings joy to Larchet’s heart.
