The True Story of a Loyal Dog

By Pamela S. Turner Pictures by Yan Nascimbene
At Shibuya Station in Tokyo, one dog keeps coming back. Hachiko once walked to the train station each day to meet his owner. After his owner dies, Hachiko still waits, day after day, becoming a quiet presence in the busy station and a symbol of deep loyalty. Told through the eyes of a young boy named Kentaro, this gentle fictionalized account of a true story gives readers a tender way to understand friendship, loss, and devotion. The story is simple enough for younger readers but emotionally rich enough to stay with older ones, especially anyone who has ever loved an animal.
