  1. Have you seen the Hachiko statue at Shibuya Station? Did you know that Hachiko Square is going to grow in size by 2025!

  2. I knew about Hachiko and I’ve watched a documentary about him about what happened with his death from what I’ve heard. He waited in the spot for his master until he turned into stone is from what I’ve heard as a dog person. I am so glad I’m thankful that I knew who he was and I am proud and thankful to be a dog lover if only he was alive. I would’ve loved to been able to give him a pat on the head and be able to hug him, he would’ve been a friendliest dog. 😀😊

  3. Amazing live with the kindness goes along way we should make it a habit too. Be beautiful, benevolent, and understanding so we get a chance to learn from each other. Be nice. It’s amazing when someone has that much love to sit there and wait never should be that kinda wonderful and live instead of constant fear, don’t be scared just love every bit of you and all your people don’t forget the fall in love it means more to the world than what most people think

  4. This is such a sad story . When my grandmother died her dog and cat absolutely loved her . When she passed , the cat stopped eating and couldn’t handle my grandma being gone and died a couple months after . The dog passed shortly after that

  5. Hachiko's is not a bark but a cry, longing for his departed master… and I pity him. I'm upset by seeing these fellows who are laughing instead of being compassionate for him.. what is the essence of showing hachiko's life in this program.. instead of reminiscing his sad life and loyalty.

  6. My dad and I rescued an Akita off the streets. They bring a different perspective of having a best friend in your life. They are the most loyal and hilarious breed. I think about my 2 big boys all the time,

  7. I think Hachi stands for everyone who knows what loyalty, unconditional love, devastating loss, and deep grief feel like.

  8. I've seen the statue! 😊 Back in 2013 I visited Japan by myself and found it and took a picture, I remember it was to the left once I walked outside of the station. I also went back to Japan in 2014 and as well as 2015 (I was going to Thailand first each time for my ex to see family and then Japan on the way home). I miss Japan, it's a beautiful country.

  9. I just found out today, Professor Ueno might be my great Uncle! There is a image of a family posing with Hachiko and I believe the girl standing in the kimono is my grandmother!

  10. Gotta love the ocker pronunciation of Japanese words 😂. Old Mate didn’t even bother trying 😅

  11. I think, Hatico’s health, was jeopardized by him seeing that first sculpture of him 😂 😭

  12. Yes , from when I watched the Hachiko' movie, my mind and soul is traumatic for 'hachi ', such a beautiful angel paw boy he was …my heartiest salute, love and respect for him and he will always stay in my heart 💓
    May his soul rest in peace 🕊️

  13. Is why if the owner die, is good to take the dog, to the owner grave, like that the dog knows, that is owner is gone, like that he can visit his grave, but if we don't do that, they think that, the owner is Abandon him, is better to let them know, that his best friend is gone, GOD bless all the beautiful Animals of the world ,the best friends 🐕🦮🐕‍🦺

  14. I can't stop crying for sometime after watched the movie "Hachiko". Pets grieving for their owners too. So sad

  15. I think I read that the professor's friends said that there was a special, very strong, spiritual connection between the professor and Hachiko, he endlessly loved and pampered him, showed special care for him, which was beyond the understanding of many people at that time! The professor loved Hachiko like his own son, much more than his other dogs, right? I also read that before Hachiko, the professor had 4 more Akita Inu dogs, but they all died at the age of 1-2 years, and that is why the professor doted on Hachiko, was very protective of him, is this true?

  16. I finally made it to Shibuya station. All the way from California, I flew to Japan, with the plan to pay my respect to Hachiko and to take a picture with his statue… It couldn't have happened at a better time… after a knee surgery and a cancer diagnosis… thankfully, I recovered and given the okay by my oncologist to make the trip!! I was extatic, and I tearfully made my way to the statue of this beloved dog!! A wonderful person there offered to take the photos (several I might add) of me, my friend and Hachi's statue… And on his 100th anniversary!!!! I'll forever remember that day for the rest of my life!!
