Hachi is a dog admired for her loyalty to her owner, Hidesaburō Ueno, for whom she continued to wait for over nine years following Ueno's death. Hachi's owner is her only will to live, as she found the true meaning of life for Ueno, as she felt the true "love" Even if other people walked by, passed by not admiring her presence, she kept waiting for her owner, even when she knew her owner died. Hachi only replies with dog sounds, like "woof!" or "grrr"
