I am excited for our Aspin dog Buffy to give birth to a new set of puppies! I will keep one of the puppies. I got a name already―Hachicko.

It is weird that everywhere now I go, everyone is talking about Hachicko. If not, I hear people talking about dogs and goodbyes.

I remember the words of the Fox in the book Little Prince. The Fox said that when we have tamed someone and become their friends, we become responsible for that person.

I got a new friend who had introduced me to Hachicko. I haven’t seen yet the movie. It was originally in Japanese but I think there was a Hollywood remake. According to my new friend Spike, Hachicko is a story of a very loyal and loving dog named Hachicko. Every afternoon Hachicko waited for his master in a subway station in Japan. Until one fateful day, Hachicko’s master died, I think in an accident. I don’t know yet the whole story. But it is like Hachicko waited for his master to return in nine long years until Hachicko died.
