Beautiful story and dog. The Japanese have a remarkable way of always recognizing special instances and appreciating and celebrating them. It’s humbling.

... look on the bright side - he never saw atomic bombing
In 1932, the first article was published about the loyal pet in a national newspaper
The article was written by one of Hidesaburō Ueno’s former students. The student was writing a thesis on the Akita breed of dogs and upon seeing one of such at the station, he followed Hachikō home—to Kuzaboro Kobayashi, the former gardener of the late professor. The student learned the life story of Hachikō from Kuzaboro and shortly thereafter published a documented census of Akitas in Japan. According to the research, only 30 purebred Akitas remained living in Japan, one of whom was Hachikō from Shibuya Station.
