Hachiko - The Most Loyal Doggo

Dogs are often celebrated as loyal companions, renowned for their steadfast devotion and unwavering friendship.
The story I will present to you today is of a dog whose daily ritual involved accompanying his owner to the train station each morning, and eagerly awaiting his return at the station again in the afternoon.

One day, the owner suffered a fatal stroke and never returned. But the faithful canine continued to visit the station each afternoon for the next decade, patiently waiting for his beloved owner. This remarkable demonstration of loyalty has been immortalized in literature, film, and even a bronze statue.

This is the story of Hachiko.

Hachiko's story, no matter how many times I hear it, always makes me cry. Some of us don't even have humans in our lives who are that loyal. We truly don't deserve dogs.

Oh boy I'm ready to cry....

I have a dog and while not as heart wrenching as Hachiko, I know he's very loyal. When I went to college, my little dog would drag blankets or dog beds to sleep in front of my old room for the years I was gone. Now he lives with me

I remember I cried a mile of river when I first came across Hachiko's story 20 years ago. I hope Hachiko is now up in heaven with his owner.

Dogs display an unbroken loyalty towards good caregivers.

Great content, we don’t deserve dogs. Damn this one made me cry.

One word of advice to all dog owners: should you ever go before your dog, let him or her see your lifeless body. That way, at least he or she will know that you are gone from the world. And will not spend much of his or her precious remaining life waiting for your return.

As an American living in Tokyo many many years ago I was standing in front of a large train station and saw a small statue of a small dog and asked "what's that...?"

[Emily-qdbq]

I would always watch Hachi: A Dog’s Tale at my cottage when I was younger; I’d cry every time.

OMG 涙腺崩壊。
Who's cutting onions!?

[kehenabeach]

Nothing more loving and loyal than a dog!

I love this channel, it's weird you don't have more views. It would be really interesting to hear about cults in japan, I've only heard about them in the west.

[contorta]

I'm a cat person but had dogs as a kid. I really needed this story today.
Have his collar stolen?? What the hell, I don't understand. A country that has a very low crime rate but dog collars are hot merch? Source? Why?

[Hiphopdatruthnohate]

I wonder if he saw his owners spirit getting of the train 🚂.

[stejer]

Not Hachiko god dammit... I'm a grown man and supposed not to cry.
Anyway, it is most remarkable that a dog would be the inspiration for so many bad movies and mangas.

Hello! Can you tell us more about Hachiko's life in Professor Ueno's house? Describe his life there, his relationship with the owner? How did Ueno treat him? How much did you love your dog? Did Ueno have a family, children? And what is shown in the Japanese film, when the professor took a bath with Hachiko, caught fleas from him for hours, and Hachi fell asleep in his arms is it true? And please tell me, is it true that Hati, after the death of his master, lived with his former gardener?

[Foxiesz]

Debated if I wanted to watch this knowing itd make me tear up

[Matt-rqbu]

Damn this was sad, thankfully a decently happy ending though. Good video :)

[therunt]

I already know the story and I know how it will affect me but I have to watch anyway.
What kind of person would treat an animal poorly just for existing? I swear, better not let me catch you...!

Who's cutting onion's over here 😭
