Hachiko, the loyal Japanese Akita Inu,

Icon for True Love Conquers All

Last photo of Hachiko, the loyal dog who waited for over 9 years outside Shibuya Station for his master to return, even after he died...

In March 1935, this moving image of Hachiko, the loyal Japanese Akita Inu, was taken, shortly before his death.

This photo represents the end of a story of devotion and loyalty that moved the world. Hachiko became famous for waiting patiently every day outside Shibuya Station in Tokyo for his owner, Professor Hidesaburo Ueno, even after Ueno's death in 1925. For nearly a decade, Hachiko returned to the same place day after day, waiting for his beloved master to return.

Hachiko's story has inspired books, films and memorials around the world, becoming a symbol of unwavering loyalty and unconditional love. This final photo captures the serenity and dignity of a dog who never gave up hope, even in the last moments of his life.

Today, the bronze statue of Hachiko in front of Shibuya Station is an iconic meeting place and a lasting reminder of the power of the bond between humans and animals.
