"Profoundly sad and hopeful at the same time . . . Hachiko Waits shows us the very best in life; loyalty, devotion, our ability to love-all taught by a beloved, intelligent, and heroic dog. I love it." -Patricia MacLachlan, Newbery Award-winning author of Sarah Plain and Tall
The loyalty and devotion of a dog has no bounds
What a good dog you are. What a fine dog you are. Hachi, you are the best dog in all of Japan." Professor Ueno speaks these words to his faithful dog before boarding the train to work every morning. And every afternoon just before three o'clock, Hachi is at the train station to greet his beloved master.
One day, the train arrives at the station without the professor. Hachi waits.
For ten years Hachi waits for his master to return. Not even Yasuo, the young boy who takes care of Hachi, can persuade him to leave his post.
Hachiko Waits is a novel inspired by a true story. Readers will be touched by the story of Hachiko and his impact on the people of Japan.

I read this for book club and it was amazing! Although it is sad. But still it is a must read for doge lovers!
i love this book but i hated when hachiko and the professor died but i liked when Yasou met a girl
Yasou is the one who took care of Hachiko all the time.
I liked that Hachiko waited ans waited for professor the professor to come. I didn't like that professor and Hachiko died.
I liked how hachiko waits for his master and I also liked how hachiko show's us to wait for people and never give up. :(
I love the part when Yasuo gives the speech at the end and he's going to cry but he see's a little boy about his age when he first meet Hachiko, the little boy smiles at him and Yasuo smiles back : )
This book is really good but very sad and i liked how he waited for his master when he was alive the part i hated was hachiko died spoiler.
This book is good
