Description

A few days ago I saw the movie Hachiko with Richard Gere in the lead role He touched me so much that I created the scene for this unique dog The Story (Please take a look to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hachik%C5%8D ) In 1924, Hidesaburō Ueno, a professor in the agriculture department at the University of Tokyo, took in Hachikō, a golden brown Akita, as a pet. During his owner's life, Hachikō greeted him at the end of each 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 dog waited at Shibuya station. 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. Death Hachikō died on March 8, 1935, and was found on a street in Shibuya. In March 2011 scientists settled the cause of death of Hachikō: the dog had terminal cancer and a filaria infection (worms). There were also four yakitori sticks in Hachikō's stomach, but the sticks did not damage his stomach or cause his death. Thanks for looking friends - this Story touched my Heart Umberto

Ich habe den Film auch gesehen. Es war ein sehr schöner, am Ende aber auch sehr trauriger Film. Dein Bild scheint sich auch auf das Ende zu beziehen. Wieder mal sehr schön umgesetzt.

Kenne diese traurige Geschichte auch, ein wunderschönes Bild hast du dazu gestaltet, mit ganz liebevollen Details! Freue mich, dass es dir nun besser geht. Habe mir jetzt Vue 9 Esprit zugelegt, aber kann leider, bedingt durch meine Bindehautentzündung und extrem trockenen Augen, im Moment nichts machen.
