This story bears remarkable similarity to that of Hachiko, the dog that waited at Shibuya station in Tokyo every day for nine years after his human sadly passed away and the little dog has been nicknamed 'mini Hachiko' due to his unwavering loyalty. Both of these stories demonstrate just how special a canine companion can be.
