SOME PICTURES WITHOUT TEXT HAVE A DEEP MEANING.

This is Hachikō waiting for his master Hidesaburō Ueno at Shibuya Train Station

Everyday the Akita dog Hachi would commute with Professor Hidesaburo Ueno to the train station. The professor would leave to catch the train for University of Tokyo and Hachi would come back home.

At the end of the day, accurately when the train is due, Hachi would reach the station and wait for the professor outside.

Both would be elated to see each other and embrace each other with joy.

The pair continued the daily routine until 1925, when Ueno did not return. He had died without ever coming back to the station because he had suffered cerebral hemorrage during the lecture.

Hachi waited for professor’s return for nine years, nine months and fifteen days outside the gate of train station reaching there everyday precisely when professor had used to come back to the station.

Due to professor’s one of student Hirokichi Saito’s articles Hachi’s loyality and love had become known all over the world. In 1934, a bronze statue of Hachi had been created at Shibuya Station. He was there at the time of unveiling of the statue.

His master never came back for him and Hachi died on March 8, 1935 at the age of 11. His death left a void in the hearts of people. There was no happy ending to his story.

But in the hearts of people, Hachi met his master in February 2015 at the University of Tokyo when his statue was erected along with professor’s. People were crying with joy to see them meet again. This was the happy ending to their story and Hachi became the example of sheer loyalty, fidelity and love for his master.
