At the age of two months, he was sent to  the home of Professor Ueno of the Agricultural Department of the Tokyo  University. The professor's home was in the Shibuya district of Tokyo.  The professor commuted to the agricultural department in Komaba and the  agricultural experimental station in Nishihara.  Tragedy struck  on May 21, 1925, when Dr. Ueno did not return because he had suffered a  stroke and died at the university. Hachiko was eighteen months old. The  next day and for the next nine years, Hachiko returned to the station  and waited for his beloved master before walking home, alone. Nothing  and no one could discourage Hachiko from maintaining his nightly vigil.  It was not until he followed his master in death, in March l934, that  Hachiko failed to appear in his place at the railroad station.   Hachiko was sent to homes of relatives or friends, but he always  continued to await his master, who was never to return, at the train  station.  The fidelity of Hachiko was known throughout Japan,  owing to an article, "Faithful Old Dog Awaits Return of Master Dead for  Seven Years" in the October 4, 1933 issue of Aashi Shinbun (Asahi News).  Upon his death, newspaper stories led to the suggestion that a statue  be erected in the station. Contributions the from the United States and  other countries were received. Today, the statue of the Akita, Hachiko,  pays silent tribute to the breed's faithfulness and loyalty. A bronze  statue of Hachiko was put up at his waiting spot outside the Shibuya  railroad station, which is now probably the most popular rendezvous  point in Shibuya. Hachiko was mounted and stuffed and is on now on  display at the Tokyo Museum of Art.<img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/524046_325870187497965_818503244_n.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.pajamadeen.com/images/hachiko-stuffed.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Hachoko's statue at Shibuya station, Tokyo<img src="http://melodyofrain.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/800px-hachiko200505-2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Source: Facebook</blockquote>
