# Welcome to Hachiko: Most Loyal Dog in the world
Hachiko (November 10, 1923 – March 8, 1935) was a Japanese dog remembered for his remarkable loyalty to his owner Professor Hidesaburō Ueno.
## His Story:
Every day, Hachikō accompanied his owner, Professor Hidesaburo Ueno, to Shibuya Station in Tokyo and waited for him to return from work. On May 21, 1925, Professor Ueno suffered a cerebral hemorrhage at the university and died suddenly. He never returned to the station that evening.But Hachikō kept coming back.
For the next nine years, nine months, and fifteen days (until his death on March 8, 1935), Hachikō appeared at Shibuya Station every afternoon at the exact time the train was due, waiting for his owner who would never come back.
At first, station staff and vendors tried to shoo him away, but eventually they (and the whole nation) grew to love and care for him. Newspapers wrote about “the loyal dog Hachikō,” and he became a national sensation in the early 1930s, teaching Japanese children about faithfulness and devotion during a difficult time in the country’s history
