There was a professor in the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Tokyo. His name is Hidesaburo Ueno. He brought home a golden brown puppy in 1924. Born on November 10, 1924, this pet was not even a year old.
"Hachiko, come here."
"Sit down Hachiko"
"Hachiko, here's a treat for you"
"Hachiko, drink some milk."
"Hachiko, I'm going to work now. You better be careful
The professor checked on Hachiko.
When Ueno's employer went to work, Hachiko used to accompany him to the Shibuya train station. When he returns from work, Hachiko is at the train station. Accept the employer.
On May 21, 1925, Professor Uene was giving a lecture. He died due to a brain hemorrhage. Hachiko came to the train station that evening as well. The employer did not get off the train box. The train ran back and forth.
"Where is it?"
The train left. Hachiko groaned in pain. Then went back. From then on, every day when the train arrived, I always went and waited for it to say "today will come".
"Not even today." He moaned sadly and went back.
Until his death on March 8, 1935, Hachiko would always come to the railway station and check the doors of every train box in search of his employer.
Ueno had a student named Hirokichi Saito. He looked for Hachiko. Hachiko followed Page on the way back from the train station. He met Kikuzaboro Kobaishi, a gardener who had previously worked with Ueno, and found information about Hachiko's history.
After that he published an article about Akita type dogs living in Japan. Including Hachiko, who lives near the Shibuya train station, there were only thirty dogs left in Japan. Hirokichi often visited Hachiko. He often wrote about his love for his employer. Through an article published in Asahi Shambun in 1932, he managed to draw the attention of the whole of Japan to Hachiko. The sensitive responses of the Japanese were directed at Hachiko. Teachers and parents started teaching Hachiko's example to their children as a lesson.
Hachiko died on March 8, 1935 after living for 11 years. An artist had painted his image in brass a year before and placed it in front of the railway station.
After Hachiko's body was cremated, his ashes were buried near the grave of his beloved employer, Professor Uene, and the comrades arranged to build a tomb. His fur was removed and put on display at the Tokyo Science Museum. Hachiko's statue was removed during World War II. In 1938, Takeshi Ando, the son of the artist who created the previous statue, recreated Hachiko's statue and placed it ceremonially in front of the railway station. Now the entrance reserved for those entering Shibuya Station from the side of Hachiko's statue is called Hachiko Entrance.
Many books and several films have also been created under the name of Hachiko. A film based on this incident was broadcast on television. I was also able to watch that Sinhala-dubbed movie 15 years or so ago.
