Hachiko

Author: Pamela S. Turner
Stars: 5
Review by: RjS

A very sweet, very true story about the loyalty a dog feels for its owner. My son had told me this story and I know that a film was made with the actor Richard Gere but I wanted to read the real Japanese story of this Akita dog, Hachiko, whose statue stands in the Shibuya train station. Hachiko is a hero, much in the same way as Balto, the sled dog, is a national hero. You will love this short story.
