This is Hachiko, he's probably the most famous dog in all of Japan. His story which took place in 1925, is know throughout Japan and the world. Hachiko was an Akita who would accompany his master to and from the Shibuya train station each day. When Hachi was two, his master Mr. Uyeno, died at work. Hachiko continued to wait everyday for his master to return, until March 8, 1935 when Hachiko died at the same spot he last saw his master. This is one of the most touching stories ever told for dog lovers. Hachiko's statue is a daily meeting place for thousands of people each day.

Are you having fond memories of Kai with this photo and story? :) Must be hard to be so far away, but I am sure he is waiting for your return too...
I bet you miss Kai. I miss him too. I totally thought of him when I saw the pic. I'm glad you're doing well.
