I can only imagine one of the workers somehow managed to befriend him and he stayed. Now, as I write this, he has also disappeared from the church, but so have the workers. I can only hope one of them took him. So sad, but maybe a happy ending.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00241553607254199559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080984325144354995.post-49905228840720364882010-10-31T05:19:43.114+01:002010-10-31T05:19:43.114+01:00do you know if this dog was every rescued?

This would be one of those cases I would justify darting him with a sedative and bringing him into a welcoming home, if only there were one and a vet or animal control worker who would dart him). He could pine away just as easily in a safe environment as this dangerous one and his health and nutrition be better tended to. He seems a big guy, like part St. Bernard? Bless the folks who feed him. In Japan they put up a statue to a dog who waited for his master at the train station everyday, even after the master passed away. I learned of it from a children's book, but the story is soon to be released as a movie staring Richard Gere.<BR/>Hachiko (pronounced HA-chi-ko) was born in November 1923 in Odate, in the Akita province of Japan. The next year, Ueno brought him to Tokyo. Hachiko followed Professor Ueno everywhere. He accompanied Ueno to the Shibuya train station every morning and then returned and waited for him every afternoon. But, one day in May 1925, Professor Ueno didn’t come home; he’d suffered a fatal stroke at work. Mrs. Ueno gave the dog away to some of the professor’s relatives. But the devoted dog came back and returned to the train station every afternoon for nearly 11 years, at precisely the time that Ueno’s train was due, waiting for the professor. Hachiko did this until his own death in March 1935. He's been adopted as the symbolic national dog of Japan and his statue is at that train station and in Tokyo. I love that you have immortalized this guy in your photos. Somehow it may change his luck.<BR/>-KimKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03687351187791689224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080984325144354995.post-78613945976057760872009-04-06T07:05:00.000+02:002009-04-06T07:05:00.000+02:00This is making me cry!
