Hachi and the Professor went to the train station. In there, they met the Station Master, Mr. Yoshikawa, whom Professor Ueno ask for help to take care of Hachi because he was afraid that he would miss the train. He also introduced to Mr. Yoshikawa that Hachi is smarter than any other dogs. After that, when the Station Master patrolled the platform, the professor made friends with 2 mother and son: Mrs. Takasahi and Yasuo. He also did not forget to talk about Hachi by giving it many compliments. At 9 o'clock, the Professor had to say goodbye to Hachi and got on the train but Hachi insisted on running after him, though Mr. Yoshikawa tried to prevent it.

Ever since that moment, not a day goes by without Hachi waiting for his master at the train station. He was never a minute late early and never a minute late. On one mild spring day, something strange happened to the professor, he started to feel fatigued and his face was covered with sweat. Realizing the professor was suffering from something, Hachi chased the train and barked relentlessly as if he wanted to say something important. At 3 o’clock that day, as always, Hachi still sat at his familiar spot waiting for the professor. Yet, hours later, the professor didn’t show up, but Hachi still patiently waited for him. No one actually knows where he is.

The story begins on a morning, as a man of habit, Professor did everything as usual with his puppy: putting on his clothes, drinking green tea, eating breakfast, etc. Then, the Professor walked out of his house, took a few deep breaths, and trained Hachi. Hachi obediently obeyed, did very well, and was given many compliments by Professor Ueno. Afterward, the professor had to go out but no sooner had he left, Hachi followed him. Professor tried to ask Hachi to come back home but couldn't. Eventually, he allowed Hachi to go with him.

The day after Hachiko died, Yasuo came to the train station. He sat on a bench and watched people walk around his Hachiko's spot as they had when he was alive. Yasuo got an idea and talk to Mr. Yoshikawa that a statue of Hachiko will be placed at Shibuya Station in Tokyo, Japan. People from all over Japan donated money to help pay for the statue. A well-respected sculptor was selected for the job.

There are so many people who come to the station where the statue was put. The Akita- ken was a bronze sculpture made of bronze raised high on a pedestal. Yasuo reached up to stroke the sculpture, half-expecting to feel soft fur under his fingertips. Hachiko gave several meaningful messages about loyalty and devotion, hope and faith. And above all, he taught people the true meaning of friendship'. These are reasons he was honored

Yasuo saw Hachiko lying on the platform waiting for the Professor. The Akita struggled to his feet and looked up at the approaching train. Yasuo ran to get the Station Master. Hachiko, Hachiko is the best dog in all of Japan.
Yasuo cried as he watched the dog take a few shuddering breaths.  A small crowd gathered around Hachiko's body. Mr. Yoshikawa paused and waited while a train pulled into the station. Every day for the past ten years, Professor Ueno has met this special train to see if his beloved Akita-ken is on it.

On the next day, Yasuo and his mother - Mrs. Takahashi arrived at the train station, waited for the Professor and Hachi. Surprisingly, the Professor was on neither the same train as Yasuo and his mother nor the platform when they arrived. There was only Hachi waiting at his usual spot. Yasuo and Mrs. Takahashi sat down and scanned through the crowd to look for the Professor, along with Hachi. As time goes by, they lost their patience and decided to ask the Station Master. They were so shocked to learn about the Professor's death. At the same time, they worried about Hachi. He was too innocent to realize that his master has passed away. Therefore, they took Hachi home with them, regardless of his objection.

After all three came home, Hachi just sat at the front door and showed no interest in his new house. Although Yasuo tried to explain to Hachi about the Professor’s death, he just stared at the door as if his master would appear any moment soon. Yasuo stayed with Hachi until his dad came home. After being informed about the situation, Yasuo’s father talked to him about his responsibility and decided to take Hachi for a walk after the evening meal. Unfortunately, the moment when the door was opened, Hachi used his strength to escape from the house and ran into the unknown. No one knows for sure what will happen to him.

Yasuo was so worried about Hachi that he couldn’t sleep much that night. He woke up early in the morning and partly finished the breakfast with a heavy heart. On the way to the station, he tried to yell out Hachi's name but there was no response. Yasuo had a hard time paying attention to his schoolwork that day because his main concern was Hachi’s condition. While immersed in thought, suddenly he had an idea. As soon as the school let out, he quickly boarded the train to Shibuya where Hachiko usually waited for the Professor. The fact didn’t let him down. He burst into tears when he saw Hachi sitting in his usual spot. Yasuo asked for mom’s permission to take care of Hachiko after school. After making sure that Yasuo was fully aware of the responsibility, she accepted his request.

From then on, Hachi waited at the train day after day. He never showed up until a few minutes before 3 o’clock every day. Now that Yasuo had turned 10, he was able to travel back and forth on his own. He was in charge of feeding Hachi after school and keeping his coat clean. One day, a strange man came. He took photos and watched Hachi carefully for quite a long time. He also asked Yasuo many questions about the dog. Turned out he was a journalist. He wrote an article about Hachi named 'Hachiko Waits'. From that day on, people from all over Japan came to see Chuken Hachiko, the faithful dog. Some gave the Station Master money so that the dog would not go hungry. With extra money to care for him, they were able to build him a shelter and buy Hachiko treats from the food vendors. Everyone was surprised at how smart Hachiko was when he pulled off the pieces of chicken by himself.
