Almost all Japanese dogs are classicallynorthern view: wedge-shaped head, wrapped tail, standing ears. Eyes usually deep seated, almond-shaped ("triangular"). They have perfect self-control and a stable psyche.
Amazing ability to navigate throughsituation in general is worthy of admiration: being by nature calm and attentive, Japanese dogs unerringly feel the moment when the owner needs protection. That's when boldness manifests itself in all its glory. These are real dog samurai.
Actually, the Japanese breed of dogs is exactly what is different. Those who get acquainted with these handsome men closer, it seems that the culture of Japan
Japanese dogs are associated with their regions (or areas): kai-inu, sikoku inu, kishiu inu, hokkaido-inu and, of course, - akita inu.
The latter gained popularity afterpublished in the press of the touching story of the faithful Hatiko, who was waiting for his master all his life until his last breath. This large Japanese dog proved to mankind that in its world there is love and devotion.
Each time Khatiko was waiting for the owner's return withwork and met him at the station. But one day he did not come - the infarction cut short the professor's life completely suddenly. Then the dog was only a year and a half. And every evening Khatiko invariably came to the very train on which the owner always came, and late in the night returned to the porch of the house in which he had lived before. Dog tried to attach the relatives of the professor, but he always ran away and invariably returned to the station for the arrival of the train. Everyday. Year after year. In any weather.
This went on for nine long years. Khatiko died in 1935, in March.
Уэно, бывший студент, учившийся у профессора, был shocked by such devotion and published an article dedicated to this dog. The material caused a wide resonance. The day of Khatiko's death became a day of mourning for all of Japan, and a monument was erected in honor of the dog.
True, the monument was dismantled during the Secondworld (all metal went to the needs of the military industry), but after the war the monument was restored. Now he is at the same station where he spent so many years in anticipation of his professor Khatiko.
This place has become a meeting place for couples in love, andThe image of a dog is an example of loyalty and selfless sincere love. The exit from the station was called "Khatiko's Exit". This dog is so fouled by the Japanese in the soul that parents began to put it as an example for children. Years later, the world-famous film "Hatiko" (1987) was shot, and in 2009 a remake was shot, not inferior in depth and strength to the first film. I must say that only a soulless person watching these films could hold back tears, - the directors managed to show this story so deeply.
In other cities, another 15 monuments were erected in honor of dogs, whose evacuation failed during one of the expeditions.
Japanese dogs continue to amaze and in ourtime. One day, a disheveled dog came to the rescuers and began to ask all of them to follow her. Surprised people saw soon another dog, seriously wounded, with a lot of injuries. Here such can be a dog's mutual help, fidelity and compassion ...
