Hachiko statue outside Shibuya station, Tokyo

I didn't know such a meaningful story lies behind this statue of Hachiko the dog. This dog accompanied his master to the train station every day and returned in the afternoon to greet him after work. One day his master passed away and never returned from the station so Hachiko faithfully returned to the same spot the very next day, and every day for the next nine years to wait for his master.

It was raining that day and sadly I didn't get a crisp clear shot.
