Hachiko: The story of a dog that teaches humanity a lesson!
Without knowing that his owner had died, he waited for him for 9 years at the train station where they met every evening. No one could tell him that his owner was dead and would not come back. Here is the story of the legendary dog ​​Hachiko!
The ancient friendship of dogs with humans, dating back centuries, is known to everyone. However, there are some friendship stories that have been recorded in history books, movies have been made, and have been passed down as symbolic stories of human and dog friendship. Hachiko, the loyal dog whose statue was erected in Tokyo, is perhaps the oldest and most well-known of these.
The loving story of Hachiko and his owner, Professor Ueno, goes back almost 100 years. Professor Ueno adopted Hachiko, a large white purebred Akita male, when he was just a baby. Hachiko's extraordinary characteristics are especially evident in his loyalty to his owner. This good-natured large white dog makes it his duty to accompany his owner to Shibuya Train Station every morning. Every evening, at the same time, he goes to the train station and waits for his owner to go out the door, then returns home with him.
This magnificent loyalty of Hachiko is welcomed with interest by the employees at the train station and the surrounding area. Hachiko becomes a dog known by everyone in that area.
But one day an unexpected situation arises. As usual, Hachiko came to the train station to meet his owner and started waiting. But although he waited without blinking until the morning, Professor Ueno did not appear at the door. The loyal dog Hachiko continues to wait for his owner without leaving anywhere, and this legendary wait lasts exactly 9 years. Hachiko did not leave the station for even a moment for 3200 days.
Station employees watch the dog in astonishment. Since he did not know what death was, he did not understand that his owner was dead; Since he did not know what time was, he did not have the slightest doubt about his owner's future for 9 years. He is still stubbornly waiting for the moment when his beloved owner will appear at the door as always. This wonderful love story and rare loyalty touched the station employees and the surrounding tradesmen very much. They feed Hachiko; They try to protect themselves from the cold when necessary. Hachiko's fame soon spreads first to the surrounding neighborhood, then to the city, and then to the country.
The sad wait of this friendly large white dog ends with his death at the gate of Shibuya Train Station, as a result of the tiredness and old age brought on by those long years of waiting before reaching his beloved owner. But the legend of Hachiko has just begun.
The dog statue that those who go to Tokyo see today at the gate of Shibuya station is Hachiko. As a symbol of loyalty and human-animal relationship, the Japanese erect a statue of Hachiko where he waited for his owner for 9 years after his death.
II. When the statue was destroyed in World War II, they erected a new one in 1948. Today, that gate of Shibuya station is known as the Hachiko exit and is one of the most important meeting centers of Tokyo.
Every year, on March 8, the anniversary of Hachiko's death, many animal lovers meet in front of the statue. Hachiko's mummified body is exhibited in the National Science Museum in Tokyo.
