Bonus dog fact of the day (1 Viewer)

[Ahsoka]

This ones a little sad, I wont deny that I've teared up about this fact. It also might be not completely unknown for everyone. Anyways, time to get into the fact.

In Japan, there existed a dog Hachiko, who would go to meet his owner after work every day. That is, until one day, the owner died at work (he was a uni professor who died of cerebral hemorrhage one day at work. But this didn't stop the Hachiko, who continued to return the station for 9 years, 9 months, and 15 days (I guess someone was counting?). Hachiko eventually died of cancer and/or filaria infection and he was buried next to his owner. There remains various legacies throughout Japan (statues, ceremonies, ect).

I don't know why this makes me so sad but it does. I hope some of you guys learned something new, I wouldn't have heard of it if not for a board game I have. This dog is the epitome of a good boy.
