Hachiko the dog is probably no stranger to animal lovers around the world, especially when its story has been adapted into the famous movie of the same name. Hachiko belongs to the Akita breed and is considered a "national treasure" of Japan thanks to its absolute loyalty to its owner.

In 1924, Hidesaburo Ueno - a professor in the Faculty of Agriculture of the University of Tokyo, Japan - bought and brought Hachiko to Tokyo. The close friendship of the respected Professor and the small dog begins with every morning Hachiko follows his master to Shibuya station and waits for him there when he returns at the end of the day.

Regardless of whether it's sunny or rainy, Hachiko always goes to the station to see off his close friend from work. But then on a fateful day in May 1925, when Professor Ueno suffered a heart attack and died suddenly at work, Hachiko was still waiting for his friend in hope at the station.

Days later, still seeming not to believe in the departure of the owner, the poor dog still goes to the station every day to wait for the Professor's return. The incident repeated over and over, causing the surrounding guests to notice and love Hachiko.

This loyal dog waited for his master for 9 years, 9 months and 15 days, until his death. After Hachiko passed away, appreciating the dog's loyalty, the people made a statue of Hachiko as a symbol of loyalty.

Today, when coming to Shibuya Station, Japan, visitors do not forget to visit the statue of Hachiko dog which is solemnly placed here.

When the first plane piloted by terrorists crashed into the tower, Mr. Rivera knew he was in a situation where he was hanging on to his hair. He thought that a blind old man like himself could not escape, so he untied the dog Dorado and ordered him to run out to survive.

At first, the dog obeyed its owner's orders, but 10 minutes later, Mr. Rivera felt the loyal dog rubbing against his leg. Dorado returned with his owner in distress, and with the help of a colleague, Mr. Rivera groped down the emergency stairs.

It took them more than an hour to go all the way through 72 flights of stairs and get out safely. As soon as they got out, the whole tower collapsed with thousands of people trapped inside. Mr. Rivera insists that it was his faithful dog Dorado who saved his life.

In 1941, Mr. Carlo Soriani found the injured Fido lying on the side of the road and decided to take the dog home to take care of and nurture it. Since then, every time Soriani takes the bus home from the factory, Fido is always at the bus stop waiting for him.

For 2 years, there was not a day that Fido didn't wait for Soriani at the bus stop, then the two walked home together. One day, the factory where Soriani worked was hit by an Allied bomb, killing him and many other workers.

That night, when Soriani did not return, the dog Fido quietly returned home from the bus stop. But the next day, he continued to return to the bus station to wait for the owner. Like that, for 15 years, Fido patiently stood at the bus station every day waiting for the owner who never returned.

Fido's loyalty made him a popular figure in Florence, and when he died in 1958, he was buried next to his master Soriani's grave.
