Hachiko The Loyalty Dog
Hachiko, the real story is about a dog, Akita breed, that waits faithfully for his master at the train station even after his owner's death for 11 years. The dog was born on November 10, 1923 and died on March 8, 1935. He came to Tokyo with his master, Hidesaburo Ueno, a professor at the University of Tokyo. He would follow him in the morning from his home up to Shibuya station and wait for his return in the evening. But in May 1925 the professor suffered a fatal stroke at work and was never to return to the waiting Hachiko. Despite this, the dog would escape from his new owners and search around the professors house, later waiting at the station every evening. This caused the attention first of other commuters who would feed him treats and than a former student of the professor, who went on to write a documentary about the faithful dog in the newspaper, which was picked up by teachers and parents as well as later the Military as an example of loyalty towards the family and the country. His end though was not such a happy one as he was found one day dead in the street, his heart infected with worms and several yakitori(grilled-chicken skewers) sticks in his stomach. His remains were stuffed and are still to be viewed at the National Science Museum of Japan in Ueno.
