Human-Animal Bond

I Love You
     Similar to a mother-child bond, or husband-wife bond, a bond between a human and animal is also very strong.So the next time u see some beautiful and heart-warming scenes like this don't forget to click one for yourself. Human bonding mostly takes place between family members or friends,
Hachikō exhibited at the National Science Museum of Japan in Ueno.
but can also develop among groups such as sporting teams and whenever people spend time together. Bonding is a mutual, interactive process, and is not the same as simple liking.
      It might not be new to you to hear that animals have proved to be very faithful to human kind when it comes to friendship.
The commemorative statue of Hachikō in Shibuya.
In 1924, Hidesaburō Ueno, a professor in the agriculture department at the University of Tokyo took in Hachikō,a dog as a pet. During his owner's life Hachikō greeted him at the end of the day at the nearby Shibuya Station. The pair continued their daily routine until May 1925, when Professor Ueno did not return. The professor had suffered from a cerebral hemorrhage and died, never returning to the train station where Hachikō was waiting. Every day for the next nine years the golden brown Akita waited at Shibuya station.
Hachikō was given away after his master's death, but he routinely escaped, returning again and again to his old home. Eventually, Hachikō apparently realized that Professor Ueno no longer lived at the house. So he went to look for his master at the train station where he had accompanied him so many times before. Each day, Hachikō waited for the return of his owner.
The permanent fixture at the train station that was Hachikō attracted the attention of other commuters. Many of the people who frequented the Shibuya train station had seen Hachikō and Professor Ueno together each day. They brought Hachikō treats and food to nourish him during his wait.
This continued for nine years with Hachikō appearing precisely when the train was due at the station.Hachikō died on March 8, 1935 and was found on a street in Shibuya.His heart was infected with filarialyakitori sticks were found in his stomach. worms and 3-4
His stuffed and mounted remains are kept at the National Science Museum of Japan in Ueno, Tokyo.
It really hurts when animals are far more better than humans.
