He waited at a train station for his master for nearly 10 years.
Every day, a Japanese Akita named Hachikō would meet his owner, Professor Ueno, at the Shibuya train station. When Ueno died suddenly at work in 1925, Hachikō continued to return to the station every day at the precise time the train was due, waiting for him. He did this for nine years, nine months, and fifteen days, becoming a national symbol of loyalty whose story still breaks hearts worldwide.
