Hachikō was born on a farm near the city of Odate, in Akita Prefecture [1]. In early 1924, he was found by Hidesaburō Ueno, a professor in the Department of Agriculture at the University of Tokyo, following the death of a previous dog, which made him very sad. At first he didn't want to keep it, but his teenage daughter insisted. Hachikō was sent inside a box from Akita prefecture to Shibuya station (a two-day trip in a luggage car). When the teacher's servants went to remove him, they believed the dog was dead.
However, when they arrived at the house, the professor approached the dog a fountain with milk and it was revived. The professor picked it up in his lap and noticed that the front legs were slightly deviated, so he decided to call it Hachi ('eight' in Japanese), because of the similarity with the kanji (Japanese letter) used to represent the number eight (八 ).
The teacher's daughter left the paternal house after becoming pregnant and getting married, to move to her husband's paternal house. The professor thought about giving Hachi away, but he soon became fond of the dog, who adored him vigorously.
The dog accompanied him to the station to say goodbye there every day when his owner went to work, and at the end of the day he returned to the station to receive him. This routine, which became part of the lives of both, was not unnoticed by the people who passed through the place or by the owners of the surrounding businesses.
Hachiko was a dog that was rescued from puppy by a Japanese teacher. The teacher to go work he took a train every morning and by the end of day Hachiko was waiting for him. One day the teacher had a heart attack and died. Hachiko like a dog never understood what happened to him but he kept waiting for him until death.
