Hachiko, like many thoroughbred puppies, was in poor health, so he slept in the house, which was rare for Japan in those days – usually the animals spent the night on the street. They even wrapped the baby in a blanket so that he would not freeze, but he still got sick. Hidesaburo and his wife did not leave the animal – they held ice packs at its head, and they covered the body with homemade heating pads.
When the puppy got better, Hidesaburo started taking him for walks with his other dogs, John and Esu. Esu met the newcomer unfriendly – apparently, he felt that there was a special connection between him and the owner. The professor really took special care of the new pet: every day he cleaned and combed his thick fur, fed him rice with broth and milk with biscuits. In those days, such affection for animals was beyond the norm. According to many Japanese, Hidesaburo spoiled the dog. The dog reciprocated his adoring owner – every morning he accompanied the professor to work and met him. Hachiko followed him to Shibuya station, waited for him to get on the train, and walked home to be at the same station again by 3:00 pm and meet the person he loved most.
On May 21, 1925, Hidesaburo suffered a stroke during a lecture. The doctors could not save the scientist, and he never returned home. Hachiko at that time was 1.5 years old – he was a very young dog, one might say, still a puppy. Without waiting for the owner, he spent the whole evening at the station and returned to the threshold of the house only to spend the night. The next day he went back to the station. This went on for 9 years, 9 months and 15 days.
Hidesaburo's wife could not take the faithful dog to her, because she was not a legal wife, which means that she had to leave the house and move to her relatives. The relatives of the professor himself tried to shelter the orphaned dog, but Hachiko constantly ran away from them in search of the owner. As a result, the gardener Hidesaburo took care of the animal. Nevertheless, the dog went to the station at the same time every day. At first, he was often offended there. Children teased him, and sellers in local shops even poured water over him, but Hachiko did not leave. One of Hidesaburo's students found out about the unfortunate animal. He turned to the media, and in 1932 the story of canine devotion hit the pages of the newspapers.
The dog became a star. He began to be fed not only by the employees of the station, merchants and passengers, but also by tourists who came specifically for this. One of the admirers of Hachiko was the famous actor Masao Inoue, who bought beef for the animal. Because of the dog's loyalty to the owner, the Japanese have become much better at treating stray animals. They were no longer perceived as a threat, they began to feed and treat. Hello! I found some very interesting information on the Internet! Tell me, is this true? Does this match the facts?
