Hachiko.
movie is based on EVENTS, but in contrast to all similar-US-sentimental This is a very touching .......
Hachiko was born on November 10, 1923 in the Japanese prefecture of Akita. The farmer decided to donate a puppy to Professor Hidesaburo Ueno, who worked University of Tokyo. The professor gave the puppy nicknamed Hachiko (eighth).
When Hachiko older, he always necessarily followed his master. One day went to town to work, so the dog first, followed him to the entrance to Shibuya Station, and then at 3 o'clock again returned there to meet him.
May 21, 1925 Professor at the University suffered a heart attack. Doctors could not save his life, and home he did not return. Hachiko at that time was eighteen months. In That day he did not wait for the host, but began to come to the station every day, waiting patiently for it until late evening. He slept on the porch of the professorial home.
Despite the fact that the dog tried to attach the homes of friends and relatives of the professor, he always kept coming back to the station. Local traders and railroad lure Hachiko, admiring his persistence.
dog became known throughout Japan in 1932 after the publication in one of the largest Tokyo newspaper article, "Faithful old dog waiting for the return of his master, who died seven years ago." History won the hearts of the Japanese, and Shibuya Station started coming to the curiosity to look at the dog.
Hachiko came to the station for nine years until his death on March 8, 1935. Dead Hachiko found in the street, not far from the station. He died of filarial heart, but his stomach was found a few sticks of yakitori. The year before, April 21, 1934, Hachiko monument was erected at the opening of which he personally attended. After his death, because of the wide resonance in the country was declared a day of mourning.
In World War II monument was destroyed - the metal of the monument went to the military. But Japan has not forgotten the dog - and after the war ended in August 1948, monument was restored. Today a statue of Hachiko in Shibuya Station is the meeting place of lovers, and the image of a dog in Japan was an example of selfless love and fidelity.
