忠犬ハチ公 ハチ公
[b]Hachikou[/b] (1923-1935) was a [[dog]] belonging to Professor Ueno Hidesaburou of Tokyo Imperial University (current University of Tokyo).  He famously awaited his master's return home at [[Shibuya Station]] in Tokyo every day from the professor's death in 1925 until his own in 1935, for which he was honored with a [[statue]] at the station.  Today, said statue is a popular meeting place.
