Hachiko

Millions of travellers every year see the metal statue of a dog in front of Shibuya Station, in Tokyo. Many may wonder who this dog was. But not the locals, since the story of professor Ueno and his dog Hachiko is legendary. There was even a Japanese movie devoted to it in the 80’s, which was remade by Hollywood in 2009, Hachiko, A Dog’s Tale, starring Richard Gere. Ueno, a lecturer at Tokyo University, finds a dog one day and adopts it. The animal is so faithful that, day-in and day-out, it accompanies him to the train station and waits there untill Ueno returns. A relationship that nothing, not even separation, not even something worse,can break. Hachiko: The Dog Who Waited has been published in countries like China and Vietnam. With exquisite illustrations by one of Spain’s most awarded new talents, Zuzanna Celej.
