Tomorrow, March the 8th, is the anniversary of Hachiko's death, which occured in 1935. 

This lovely dog used to wait for its master to come back home from work everyday, at the train station. But one day, its owner died of a heart attack while he was away for work, therefore he never came back. Hachiko has waited for him for 10 years more, dying at the age of 12. 

Famous true story in Japan, with many statues to remember the lovely and faithful dog. 

 In 2009, a heart-breaking movie was released, telling this beautiful story.
