I wasn’t planning on crying today but here I am !
Now they meet in heaven and see how people today care of him
Good…
Im glad this is so important to the Japanese because it is so important to me !
The statue is beautiful, and that people still honor Hachi’s memory is truly magical. This video made my day
Didn't they use that statue in "Scooby Doo and the Samurai Sword"?. I have that DVD along with another DVD, "Hachi"
I had the honour of seeing this statue a few months ago. Trust me guys, this video doesn't make justice to the amount of details the actual statue has. The eyes, the posture, the ways hands and paws connect, the "shine" Hachiko's eyes have, the paternal smile of Dr. Ueno, and so much more.
The statue at Shibuya station is well visited and highlighted, and it's beautiful. But if you visit Tokyo, I 101% suggest to take a little tour to the Faculty of Agriculture.
Is there a law in Japan where you can't bring a sleeping bag an basically camp with the statue for the just the night?????
Hachiko is a sad sad story of this dog who loved his owner unconditionally, for almost 10 yrs he went to meet his owner at the train station just to be with him so they could go home together, but his owner never came back home, god bless Hachiko and his owner may they RIP together forever in gods loving arms.😢😢😢😢😢
That's Beautiful!❤🐕🦺 Thank you! Thank you very much!!!
Dogs and cats are not pets. They are very close friends.
when I heard about the story and the Broze statue, I was amazed on how amazing it look and emotional to see as well.
I'm so happy that the professor and Hachi are together at last. Thank you for getting them together again.
❤
A great tribute to Hachiko ❤️ and his owner 🔥
🥺🥺😔
bahut bada meshal ban gaya hachiko aur profesir
I am an Aquarius, meaning I am the most unemotional person. However, when I think about Hachiko for a split second, tears run down my eyes.
This kinda story can only happen in Japan. Respect.
Bachiko was a very good boy
I know this totally unrelated but this is one of the major reasons I love adventure time, the love and bond between Fin the human and Jake the dog is so strong it encompasses lifetimes. The loyalty and friendship between man and dog is pure wholesome. I’ll await my dog in heaven or in the next lifetime when the time comes.
I cried like a baby seeing this, it's so beautiful
And now they’ll never be separated❤
This is lovely, however it hurts to think of how Hachiko lived for the last years of his life. If only the love shown here was shown to this loyal dog when he was alive and alone, he could have had a much more fulfilling and happier life. JS
So said, I saw the story on my book and i feel so sad 😢😢😢😢
This sweet dog waited for his master almost 70 dog years.
spongeous dog
I love so much the great dog ♥️😍
The 1987 Japanese film about this is a tearjerking masterpiece.
This is so beautiful!!!
What a beautiful man who rescued Hachiko two beautiful creatures of creation.
Incredible
Japan is one of the most developed country in this world but also so rooted to its culture and nature's bond with the humans… I love this nation…
😢😢❤
I hope they get to reunite in the afterlife
Just seeing the statue made me cry
One of the Best Dogs that ever lived: Hachi.
Together at last, I'm hope they're having fun in heaven
Hello, could you tell us more about the life of Hachiko and Professor Ueno? There is very little information about this on Wikipedia. Are there more detailed facts from their lives?
Absolutely beautiful statue and tribute
This makes me so sad. ❤😢😢😢
Forever in our hearts, hachiko ❤
I cried, and couldn't stop my tears😢 Just love for Hachi❤️ I do have two dogs. Love for them too❤️
The dog who waits.
