Hey dogs lover! Do you even heard about Hachiko? When people tell you that:" Woh, your dog really like Hachiko!" Then you should be proud to your dog! Because it mean "faithful dog". This is the true story from japan....
STORY
In 1924, Hachiko was brought to Tokyo by its master Hidesamuro Ueno, a professor in the agricultural department at the University of Tokyo. When Hachiko’s master went to work, it greeted him off at the front door, and when his master came back from work he usually went to the nearest railway station and waited for him there. It used to do this as a routine every day. However, his master died a year later in May 1925. After the death of his master, Hachiko kept this routine and waited for its master at the station for the next 11 years. Others at the station initially thought it was waiting for something else or roaming around but later realized it was waiting for its dead master. So the vendors there used to give some bits of food and water for its unwavering loyaltyIn 1935, Hachiko died at the same spot where he usually wait for his master.
