The real stuffed body of Hachiko.
The preserved body of Hachikō — Japan’s most famous dog — is on display on the second floor of the museum’s Japan Gallery wing. An Akita dog born in 1923, Hachikō is remembered for his deep loyalty to his owner. While his owner was alive, Hachikō would greet him at the end of each day at Shibuya station when he returned home from work. The man died in 1925, but Hachikō kept his daily routine, faithfully waiting for his owner every evening at the station for 10 years until he died in 1935. Hachikō’s permanent presence at Shibuya station attracted widespread attention, and his legendary faithfulness became a national symbol of loyalty.

Ngayon lang ulit ako naiyak sa panonood ko ng movie. Hindi ko alam, dahil siguro dog lover ako. Dito talaga mapapatunayan ang kasabihan na "Dog is a man's bestfriend". Iwanan mo man sila, pagmalupitan, o wag pansinin, mananatili parin ang loyalty nila sa inyo. Dahil para sa kanila, ikaw pa rin ang kanilang tanging "Master"...
