!!!REUNITED TODAY!!! On the 80th Anniversary of Hachiko’s death the new statue of him being reunited with his owner Professor Ueno has been unveiled to a crowd of hundreds at the University of Tokyo, Faculty of Agriculture. heart emoticon

“In 1924, Hidesaburō Ueno, a professor in the agriculture department at the University of Tokyo, took in Hachikō, a golden brown Akita, as a pet. During his owner’s life, Hachikō greeted him at the end of each day at the nearby Shibuya Station. The pair continued their daily routine until May 1925, when Professor Ueno did not return. The professor had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and died, never returning to the train station where Hachikō was waiting. Each day for the next nine years, nine months and fifteen days, Hachikō awaited Ueno’s return, appearing precisely when the train was due at the station.” Wiki.

*Applause!!*

May Hachiko and the professor always be together in a happy and peaceful place!

I’m so touched I’m in tears….aren’t you too?
