Hachiko: The World’s Most Loyal Dog In His Last Years

Hachiko: The World’s Most Loyal Dog  In His Last Years


In the 1920s, in Tokyo, Japan, a university professor named Hidesaburo Ueno adopted a golden Akita dog, whom he named Hachiko. From the very beginning, there was something unique about their bond. Each morning, Hachiko would accompany Professor Ueno to Shibuya Station, and then return home. In the afternoon, Hachiko would wait by the station until the professor returned from work, greeting him with joy. This daily routine continued for over a year, becoming a familiar sight to the commuters.


But in 1925, something awful occurred. Professor Ueno died abruptly after suffering a cerebral haemorrhage at work. However, Hachiko did not understand. That afternoon, he waited at the station, as usual, for his dear friend to return. When Ueno did not arrive, Hachiko returned the next day and the day after, waiting for his friend to arrive. For nearly ten years, Hachiko went to Shibuya Station every day to wait for Professor Ueno. Despite being cared for by locals and fed by passerby, Hachiko never stopped looking around, hoping to see his owner's familiar face. His faithfulness moved everyone who saw him, and he became a symbol of enduring love and dedication.


In 1935, Hachiko passed away at the station, waiting as he had for so many years. The people of Japan mourned the loss of their beloved "loyal dog." Today, a bronze statue of Hachiko stands at Shibuya Station, honoring the memory of this loyal friend and reminding people of the deep bond between humans and animals.


Hachiko’s story remains a testament to the strength of love and loyalty. His life teaches us that animals have a profound capacity for love and that their devotion is something to be cherished and honored. Through Hachiko, we see that true loyalty never dies—it lives on, touching generations and inspiring people around the world.
