忠犬ハチ公

大家去東京渋谷係咪掛住shopping,有冇留意呢個銅像呢?佢叫ハチ公,我第一次去東京都搵佢影番張到此一遊.

1924年から東京帝国大学農学部の教授、上野英三郎に飼われることになった。上野の存命中は、玄関先や門の前で上野を見送り、時には最寄駅の渋谷駅まで送り迎えすることもあった。上野の自宅は、現在の東急百貨店本店（旧大向小学校）周辺といわれている。

1925年（大正14年）5月21日に上野が急死した後も、毎日渋谷駅前で主人の帰りを待ち続けたといわれ、東京朝日新聞の記事により世間一般に知れ渡った。主人を慕うハチの一途な姿は人々に感銘を与え、「忠犬」と呼ばれるようになった。幾度となく、野犬狩りの危機にも陥ったが、近隣住民の配慮で免れた。

1935年（昭和10年）3月8日、渋谷川に架かる稲荷橋付近の路地で死亡。死後間もなく東京大学農学部において病理解剖が行われた。その結果、心臓と肝臓に大量のフィラリアが寄生し、そのために腹水が溜まっていた事が明らかになった。これが死因とする事が多い。しかし一方、胃の中に焼き鳥のものと思われる串が3 - 4本見つかっており、これが消化器官を傷つけていたという指摘もされている。遺体は剥製にされ、国立科学博物館に保存されている。

我唔譯喇wiki都有英文.

In 1924, Hachikō was brought to Tokyo by his owner, Hidesaburō Ueno, a professor in the agriculture department at the University of Tokyo. During his owner's life Hachikō saw him off from the front door and greeted him at the end of the day at the nearby Shibuya Station. The pair continued their daily routine until May 1925, when Professor Ueno did not return on the usual train one evening. The professor had suffered a stroke at the university that day. He died and never returned to the train station where his friend was waiting.

Hachikō was given away after his master's death, but he routinely escaped, showing up again and again at his old home. Eventually, Hachikō apparently realized that Professor Ueno no longer lived at the house. So he went to look for his master at the train station where he had accompanied him so many times before. Each day, Hachikō waited for Professor Ueno to return. And each day he did not see his friend among the commuters at the station.

The permanent fixture at the train station that was Hachikō attracted the attention of other commuters. Many of the people who frequented the Shibuya train station had seen Hachikō and Professor Ueno together each day. They brought Hachikō treats and food to nourish him during his wait.

This continued for 10 years, with Hachikō appearing only in the evening time, precisely when the train was due at the station.^[2]

Hachikō died on March 8, 1935. He was found on a street in Shibuya.^[1] His heart was infected with filarial worms and 3–4 yakitori sticks were found in his stomach.^[1] His stuffed and mounted remains are kept at the National Science Museum of Japan in Ueno, Tokyo.^[3]
