Hachiko:A Dog's Story





First time I know about Hachiko is on FlyFM,then Hachiko:A Dog Story came across while I'm searching for movies in Pirate Bay. Indeed a very touching movie,I bet girls will cry after watch it.









Hachi always follow his owner to the train station

And waited his owner back from work in the train station

Eventhough one day his owner never made it back,he'll still be waiting there.....until the day he died.....



The Real Hachiko Story

Hachikō (ハチ公, November 10, 1923–March 8, 1935), known in Japanese as chūken Hachikō (忠犬ハチ公, "faithful dog Hachikō" ('hachi' meaning 'eight', a number referring to the dog's birth order in the litter, and 'kō,' meaning prince or duke)), was an Akita dog born on a farm near the city of Ōdate, Akita Prefecture

In 1924, Hidesaburō Ueno, a professor in the agriculture department at the University of Tokyo took in Hachikō as a pet. During his owner's life Hachikō greeted him at the end of the day at the nearby Shibuya Station. The pair continued their daily routine until May 1925, when Professor Ueno did not return. The professor had suffered from a cerebral hemorrhage and died, never returning to the train station where Hachikō was waiting. Every day for the next nine years the golden brown Akita waited at Shibuya station.

Hachikō died on March 8, 1935 and was found on a street in Shibuya

The real Hachikō

Since then,a bronze Hachikō statue was erected at the Shibuya Station




Sometimes I wonder,
since a dog can be so loyal to his partner,why can't Human do it?
