I guess this will be the very first positive topic on here. 
I just heard about this story for the first time a few days ago. Hachiko is known as Tokyo's most famous pooch. When I first read about this, I almost cried. What a faithful dog—I'm glad they put up a statue in his memory.

Excerpt:
In 1924, Hidesaburō Ueno, a professor in the agriculture department at the University of Tokyo, took in Hachikō, a golden brown Akita, as a pet. During his owner's life, Hachikō greeted him at the end of each day at the nearby Shibuya Station. The pair continued their daily routine until May 1925, when Professor Ueno did not return. The professor had suffered from a cerebral hemorrhage and died, never returning to the train station where Hachikō was waiting. Every day for the next nine years the dog waited at Shibuya station.

Maybe some network covering the Tokyo Olympics will do a feature on this brave dog Hachikō. 🦮
Here's a link to some rare pictures of him:
