Our dogs love us back and see us as family, even more than their own kind do. Remember Hachiko, the Akita who waited for his owner at the train station for 10 years even after his owner died.
A similar incident happened in Nafpaktos, Greece where a dog’s loyalty melted hearts. He was hailed as the ‘Greek Hachiko’ for his love and devotion to his owner.
The dog’s owner Haris was hit by a cement mixer and died. The pet, deeply upset, continued visiting the scene of the accident for more than a year.
Even when people tried adopting the dog, he always returned to the roadside. Locals built him a small kennel at the crash site, kept a blanket for warmth, and regularly supplied him with food and water.
The dog stayed in the kennel through the seasons and only moved into the bushes when the heat grew too strong. Seeing such devotion, the locals named him “Greek Hachiko,” after the famous dog in Tokyo, Japan who waited at a train station for his master for 10 years after his owner died in 1925.
Our furry friends continue to inspire us with their love and loyalty. This Greek Hachiko proved to be no less loyal than the original, and his story brightens our day with hope.
