Told through the eyes of a boy, this is the true story of a dog in Tokyo who loyally waited for his master's return everyday at the train station, even long after the man had died. The man had only owned him for a year before he died. The dog's loyalty inspired the erection of a statue at the entrance of Shibuya Station. This statue is a popular meeting place today. Absolute weeper.

This book is based off a true story from Japan, about Hachiko, the loyal dog. Every day he would walk to the station with his master, then wait there until he returned from work, and they would go home together. When his master dies, Hachiko continues to wait at the station for him to return. Many people came from afar just to pet loyal Hachiko, and after his passing a statue of his was built in his memory. The statue still stands today, and is a popular meeting place for people in Japan.

This book was a very entertaining read. It is about how the loyalty of a dog can last a lifetime. This is a great story from Japan that can cause the reading to cry both tears of joy and sadness.

This is a true story about an Akita dog named Hachiko who follows his master to the train station every morning before work and greets him there every evening after work. This demonstrates the love of a dog for his master as well as undying loyalty.

I love animals especially dogs! Dogs love us unconditionally and that is awesome!

I would use this book to lead into a science lesson about animals. After reading this book the class can discuss other animals that have loyal traits either to one another or to the human kind. ( )

There is a big bronze statue of Hachiko in front of JR Shibuya Station. This is the most used spot to wait and meet with somebody in Japan! Everybody knows about this loyal dog's story, and he looks just like he's still waiting and trying to find his master among all these people.
