Hachiko

Dear all ,

A Japanese professor ( 上野英三郎 ) had ( or raised ) a dog called Hachiko ( 八千公) .

The professor go to university ( 東京大學 ) by train at Shibuya ( 澀谷 / 涉谷 ) station in Tokyu every day .

And Hachiko see the professor off at 8:00 am at Shibuya station in the morning every day .

Finish work , the professor go home by train and Hachiko will wait for the professor at 5:00 pm at Shibuya station then they happily , cheerful go home together every day .

One day , Hachiko didn't want to go to the station to see the professor off , Hachiko just stay at home , that day the professor sudden death of heart disease in the school that University of Tokyo , and Hachiko still go to the station wait for the professor at 5:00 pm that day.

That day the professor didn't go home , Hachiko didn't eat any food for 3 days .

After the professor pass away , Hachiko go to the Shibuya station wait for the professor at 5:00 pm every day until Hachiko death .

Hachiko buried with the professor together .

The professor death on May of 1924 , and Hachiko death on August of 1935 , Hachiko death when it was 11 years old ( or 12 years old ) .

After the professor pass away then Hachiko was waiting for the professor at 5:00 pm at the Shibuya station 10 years from 1924 to 1935 . ( the total of 3,650 days .)

Now , there is an exit called Hachiko at Shibuya station in Tokyo .

There is a bronze statue of Hachiko in the Shibuya station .

( Japanese made a bronze statue of Hachiko on April in 1934 , because a reporter repored Hachiko in newspaper , people concerned for Hachiko. )

Now , when Japanese go out and wait for their friends in the Shibuya station .

' I wait for you at the bronze statue of Hachiko ' Japanese said .

with love
