HACHIKO: THE TRUE STORY OF THE ROYAL DOGS OF JAPAN AND ONE FAITHFUL AKITA
By Julie Chrystn
Synopsis
In 1924, Hachiko was brought to Tokyo by his owner, Hidesaburo Ueno, a professor in the agriculture department at the University of Tokyo. During his owner's life Hachiko saw him off from the front door and greeted him at the end of the day at the nearby Shibuya Station. The pair continued their daily routine until May 1925 when Professor Ueno didn't return on the usual train one evening. This is Hachiko's story, as well as an informative look at dog culture in Japan and the history and tradition of the Akita-ken, one of the most ancient, beloved and faithful dog breeds ever.
