Description
The dog's name was Hachiko. He was a Golden Retriever who was adopted by Hidesaburo Ueno, a professor at Tokyo University. Hachiko would greet Ueno every day at the Shibuya Station when he came home from work, and would then accompany him back home.
In 1925, Ueno died of a cerebral hemorrhage while he was at work. Hachiko continued to go to the station every day to wait for him, even though Ueno never came home.
Hachiko waited at the station for 10 years, 9 months, and 15 days. He became a local celebrity, and people would often bring him food and water.
In 1935, Hachiko died of old age. He was buried next to Ueno's grave in Aoyama Cemetery.
A statue of Hachiko was erected at Shibuya Station in 1934. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Tokyo.
The story of Hachiko is a reminder of the loyalty and devotion of dogs. It is also a story of hope and resilience. Hachiko never gave up hope that his owner would return, even though he knew that it was unlikely.
Hachiko's story has been told in many books and movies. It is a reminder of the power of love and friendship.
