Hachiko

Based on this dog's own story, the movie Hachi was published. Hachiko is Professor Ueno Hidesaburo Sensei's pet dog. Every morning it follows him to Shibuya Station when he goes to work and waits for him at the ticket gate every evening. But it all ended on May 21, 1925, when Professor Ueno suddenly passed away in a stroke.

Hachiko missed eating for three days, but even after the professor's funeral, the dog regularly came to wait for him at the train station every night. Shortly after that, Hachi was transferred to a relative of Ueno-sensei and his family's former gardener. But wherever he was, he would sneak out every night and run to the familiar train station to wait. During the next nearly 10 years, sunny days as well as rainy days, strong winds or cold snow, people will see the dog waiting at the train station to fit the 6pm train.

After nearly 10 years of waiting patiently, one day in March 1935, a faithful dog was discovered dead in an alley near the station. Immediately, the image of Hachiko appeared on the front pages of newspapers and touched the hearts of millions of people.
