Re: Loyal dog's six-day wait for owner outside hospital
I agree, there is a wonderful film about a dog that waited for 9 years outside a station for his owner, who had died on his way to work. The dogs name was Hachiko. The film is called Hachiko if you watch it keeop some tissues handy. It was a wonderful film to watch.
Woke up this morning breathing that's a good start to the day.

^^ Yep, seen it. Not my usual fare, but great to watch if you have a heart and a soft spot for dogs.

^^ Hachi was the movie - Hachiko the real dog's name..... From the early 1900's - waited at the station everyday until he died.... Sad as buggery

Ahh, this is nothing.
I heard of an American dog that rescued many people whom fell into wells, and was able to communicate this fact with great detail and accuracy by simply barking?
Also, not to be beaten, Canada had a dog that travelled the country resolving peoples issues and making everyone's life have a happy ending, he was a like a hobo.

Watched it last night with the family. Very sad. The original story was in Japan and there's now a statue of the dog outside the station where it waited.lindosfan1 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 24, 2021 12:45 am I agree, there is a wonderful film about a dog that waited for 9 years outside a station for his owner, who had died on his way to work.
