Raised daughter, did not shed a single tear when she got married. She said that she loved her wife, and immediately moved away from the home she had lived in for decades after her death.

But it's just a dog, Aba, because the professor gave it the same rights as people, walk with it, commute to get off work together, take a bath together after catching lice, and bring the dog into the room to warm up when it rains in the middle of the night, so that the dog can experience Respect, equality, love, and companionship, although they have only lived together for two years, for Ah Ba, he will never forget such a good master in his life. After the professor's death, Hachi experienced two new owners, but he would rather give up his stable life and choose to be a stray dog, but also stay in Shibuya, where the professor recalls, waiting at the subway station on time every day for the impossible. The professor, wandering near the professor's old house. Hunger, cold, and life-and-death challenges didn't stop it from persevering until it died.

The loyalty of dogs to people is far more than that of people to people. People will accept the fact that people die because of rational thinking, but animals are single-celled creatures, and they are what they are. Aba is always waiting for the master's return, year after year, day after year, obsessed with behavior that seems silly to others. But for its life, why not hold expectations and hopes every day? And many people have lived without expectations, have no yearning for life, and cut off sadness and love.

Love, hope, waiting... let Aba see its light when he was dying.

    Like the professor's saying: people have personalities, and dogs also have "dog personality". The homepage of the Japan Animal Care Management Center reads: 1. Animals that can no longer be kept, please do not throw them away (they used to be free, but now they can be taken over by the protection center for only 2,000 yen). 2. Abandonment and cruelty to animals are crimes. 3. Those who abandon animals shall be fined not more than 500,000 yen. 4. Those who kill or injure animals shall be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than one year or a fine of not more than 1 million yuan.

    When I was a child, I had a purebred dog at home, who accompanied me every day to climb mountains to catch fish and dig sand pits. When it died my mom said I cried for a week and after that she vowed to never have a dog again.
