The story of one dog's devotion to his best friend.
I stumbled upon the story of Hachiko one day while reading stories online. It made me smile and even brightened the color of the day by a bit. Perhaps it will do the same for you. You can find the story at this website or view it in pdf format
It is the story of a dog in Japan. Everyday the dog would wait for his master at the train station. One day when the master did not come home from work, Hachiko continued to wait for him. Day after day the dog continued to wait. The dog's devotion to his deceased owner became well known throughout Japan.
I enjoy stories of such loyalty.
It's rare to find such a friend.

Hi, Brian, I stumbled upon your fantastic site just now... and all I can say is... WOW! The last time I felt like this was nearly 20 years ago when I first openned the book "The Little Prince". Great work! Thank you!
I wonder, can you help me create a logo, perhaps a similarly styled dog? I wouldn't mind using just this dog though, and I'd be very happy to pay for it. My personal project is a free mobile web site named JIGGOL(tm) -- it's derived from the Chinese word Ji Go, which means the "lucky dog". And somehow it always conjures the image of a dog jiggling its tail :)
I cannot find any contact info on your site so please execuse me for dropping a message like this. I'd greatly appreciate it if you can email me. Many thanks in advance!
