Hachiko the Faithful Dog

Outside the Shibuya Station is a statue of Hikachi, an Akita dog that waited at the station every day for his master to come home. One day his owner suffered a stroke and died. For nine years, the dog faithfully came to the station at the time his master's train had always arrived. The dog's loyalty inspired two statues (the first was melted down for metal during the war) and a hit movie.

Our dog Tank shows the same loyalty to whoever is feeding him.
