Every day, Hachiko waited at the Shibuya train station in Tokyo for his master, a professor, to return home. Years after his master unexpectedly died at work, Hachiko continued to wait on the platform for him. Touched by his devotion, the people of Tokyo erected a bronze statue in the Akita?s likeness. To this day, Hachiko is a well-known meeting spot. Beautiful, delicate illustrations accompany the well-told true story.
