A/N Hey all, I'm still working on the next chapter, buffing out some details. So anyways I found this story a while back ago and typed up my version of it. It is a real tale, and it's probably one of my favorite. Anyways, I thought I would share it in case I don't finish the next chapter soon...in a few days. So you don't have to read it if you would rather stick to the story, but I thought this was kind of touching. So if you like this story, please review and let me know if I told it well.
Hachiko The Most Loyal dog in the World
An Akita in Tokyo, Hachiko is famous for bringing the term loyal to his breed. In 1924, Hachiko was brought to Japan by his owner, a professor at the University of Tokyo. Every day, the man and his dog would walk to the train station. Hachiko would see the man off before returning home, and then come back again to pick him up and walk home together. This was the pair's cycle.
One day, the two set off like any regular day. Hachiko saw his master off and returned for him that evening. But, the dog's master didn't come. Unknown to Hachiko, his master had died that day. This did not stop Hachiko. He went and waited for his master at the train station the next day. And for the next 10 years, Hachiko would make the journey from his home to the train station every day. And for 10 years the dog waited for his best friend, and owner of a year.
It wasn't until one of the professor's students noticed his dog at the train station every day that it brought attention to the media. The people found Hachiko as the perfect example of loyalty and made a statue of him in front of the train station. Hachiko was there for its unveiling, before he died a year later.
In 1935, Hachiko died at the same spot where he last saw his master alive. He died waiting for him to return. And after 10 long years, the loyal dog finally joined his master. And to this day, his statue continues his vigil at the train station, forever waiting.
