Oh, Man

Have you heard the story of Hachi-Ko? Many years ago, Hacki-Ko was the beloved pet of this Japanese professor. Every day, Hacki-Ko would drop his master off at the train station, and promptly at 3pm every day he would greet him at the train station. One day, his master died suddenly at the University, but that didn't stop Hacki-ko. For the next nine years, Hachi-ko went to the station every day at 3pm to wait for his master. Now that's loyalty. My dog does the same thing, but from the couch.
