ReplyDeleteThe commemorative statue of Hachiko in Shibuya.
ReplyDeleteHachiko was a real dog, the quintessential example of the spirit that embodies man’s best friend. He would see his master Ueno to the station every morning, and trot out to wait for him as he came home at night.
When the professor died, his wife moved out of Tokyo. She gave Hachiko to some relatives who lived near the station, but he wouldn’t stay with them. Every time he had a chance, he would dash away to Tokyo station to wait for his master.
Not difficult if one's seen the movie Hachiko!
