4. When this famous Japanese dog waited for his owner for 11 years:
Hachikō was an Akita who was so devoted to his owner that he waited for him for 11 years after the University of Tokyo professor’s death. Every day, Hachikō would send Hidesamuro Ueno off at the front door and then wait for him to return at a nearby railroad station. Hachikō continued to wait for Ueno even after his death until Hachikō himself died. Every year, his devotion is honored in a ceremony at the railroad station where he used to wait for Ueno, and there was even a statue made in his honor. The movie, “Hachi” is also based on Hachikō’s story.
