Akita dogs are famous, and recently some rare pictures of Hachikō have come to light. These pictures have made people all over the world feel sad. These pictures are a sad reminder of love and loyalty that can’t be broken. This story about Hachikō has spread around the world and is now seen as a sign of loyalty in Japan and other places as well.
When Professor Hidesaburō Ueno took Hachikō in as his own child, he began his rise to fame. He was born on a farm in date, which is in Japan’s Akita Prefecture, at the end of 1923. In 1924, Hachikō was sent to live with the famous professor who was connected to the agriculture school at Tokyo Imperial University. The place where they lived was in Shibuya, Tokyo.
A lot of people loved seeing the sweet routine that Hachikō had with his owner. Professor Ueno took the train to work every day, and Hachikō always went with him straight to Shibuya Station. But bad things happened on May 21, 1925, when Professor Ueno had a brain hemorrhage that killed him while he was giving a talk. He could never get back to the grateful dog who was waiting for him at the station.
These recently released pictures capture the spirit of Hachikō’s dedication by showing the sad times he went through while waiting calmly for his owner to come back. It was impossible for him to know the sad truth that would never happen. The pictures not only show how incredibly strong the bond is between people and the animals they love, but they also make us think about how much power these kinds of relationships can have in our lives.
