If there is one film that will certainly make you sob like it’s nobody’s business, it’s the legendary “Hachi: A Dog’s Tale.” Based on a true story of an incredibly loyal and heartbroken Japanese Akita who waited for his owner at Tokyo’s Shibuya train station every day for nine years following his death.
As a symbol of remarkable loyalty and fidelity, Hachiko was portrayed in many adaptations across pop culture worldwide: books, films, statues, and more. The heartbreakingly sad story of a beautiful friendship between man and his loyal dog is repeating itself 94 years later in Greece, where this devoted family dog hasn’t moved an inch from the spot where his owner met his tragic fate 18 months ago.
So grab a napkin as this will once again prove that we don’t deserve our adorable dogs. And if you thought you’re a really loyal and loving friend, this family pet will teach you more than your heart can handle.
According to Nafpaktia News, the dog’s owner was a 40-year-old man called Haris, who died on 9 November 2017 after a collision with a cement mixer on the Old Ring Road to the River Evinos. The news shook the local community as just a few years prior, his brother had lost his life in a similar accident.
It remains a mystery how this modern-day Hachiko made it to the exact spot the fatal crash happened, which is seven-and-a-half miles away from his home in Nafpaktos, but he refuses to move from his owner’s roadside shrine. He has been grieving for one-and-a-half years at the same spot and returning to it every time despite the vain efforts of locals to take him off the road and give him a loving family.
