dog was a large hunting dog and the faithful pet of a professor at tokyo University.
every afternoon after work the professor came back to the train station and dog was waiting patiently on the platform for him.
unfortunately in May 1925 when dog was only 18 months old.
the professor died before returning home.
of course dog did not know this and went to the station to wait for his master who did not come.
every day for the next ten years the dog continued to go the station to meet the train.
he died on the platform where he last saw the professor.
today there is a statue of dog on tokyo shibuya railway station in honour of his loyalty and devotion to his master.
