Chiunque abbia amato un cane sa di cosa parla questo libro. È una storia vera e racconta di una grande amicizia, di tenerezza e dolore, di lealtà e tenacia. E, più di tutto, racconta di una speranza incrollabile. È la storia di un cane straordinario, Hachiko, del suo padrone, il professor Ueno, e di un appuntamento mancato in una stazione di Tokyo. Di un'attesa paziente durata dieci anni e di una fedeltà senza eguali, che ha commosso il Giappone e il mondo intero. Ancora oggi la statua di Hachiko, nella piccola stazione pendolare del quartiere di Shibuya, è uno dei monumenti più visitati di Tokyo. Perché nessuno è immune al fascino di questa storia, e chi vi si imbatte impara almeno una cosa: quando un cane ama il suo padrone, non c'è niente che non farebbe per lui.
