Is Hachiko's story real?
The movies about Hachiko were based on the true story of the Akita breed dog that was born in 1923 in Japan and that was the gift that Hidesaburo Ueno, a professor at the University of Tokyo, gave it to his daughter. Despite this, it was Ueno himself who had a stronger bond with the pet, which was reinforced after the young woman married and moved away.
The professor used to travel by train from his home to his work with the company Hachiko, who was also waiting for him upon his return to accompany him on the way back to his home. This was repeated until May 21, 1925, when Ueno died from a brain hemorrhage while teaching classes.
That afternoon, Hachiko He went to the station as usual; However, upon seeing that his owner had not yet appeared, he decided to wait for him, something he did for the next 10 years, even in the rain and snow. This caught the attention of many people, who cared for and fed the dog for all that time, until he died on March 8, 1935.
The love of Hachiko for his friend moved many, who nicknamed him 'the faithful dog'. Likewise, this was an inspiration for a statue to be built in his honor, which was inaugurated in the presence of the dog, a year before his death.
