Today, a statue of Hachiko stands in Shibuya, showing the dog patiently waiting.
Now, it’s that moment’s turn to be immortalized, with a new statue showing Hachiko as he’s rarely been depicted before, bursting with joy upon seeing his owner.
While Hachiko is arguably the more famous of the two, his owner, Hidesaburo Ueno, also contributed greatly to Japanese society.
In memoriam, the University of Tokyo’s agriculture department has erected a bronze statue of man and dog on its campus, together at last.
