Then he would arrive back promptly for his owner to get off the train and be SO happy to see him. Well, the owner dies and has a heartattack while at work, never coming home off the train... the dog waited there for NINE years... he would always find a way to escape the yard and go back to the train station. TRUE story, based off of a Japanese dog. Beautiful, yet sad, story and good for any dog lover to check out!
So anyways, YES, they will remember you, I think.
The longest I've been away from Jackson is 5 days... but he's always just super excited to see me again! |
I've seen the statue at that train station (used to travel to Japan on business), but I didn't know there was a move based on the story.
It's like the story of Greyfriars Bobby (a terrier, of course!), who guarded his late master's grave in Scotland for 14 years.
