It’s a new look at old faithful.
An 80-year-old photo of the world’s most loyal dog has recently surfaced

Hachiko greeted his master every day to a Tokyo train station– and kept going to the same spot nearly a decade after his owner died.

The 1934 photo shows the faithful Akita in a familiar spot, waiting in front of the Shibuya Station, where strangers had taken to feeding him in the absence of his owner, who died in 1925. Hachiko died a year later, at the age of 11.

Hachiko’s dedication to his owner Hidesaburo Ueno — a professor of agriculture at the University of Tokyo — won the hearts of the country, who immortalized the pup with several bronze statues.

The photo was provided by Takeshi Ando, a 92-year-old sculptor who created the second bronze monument to Hachiko after spending two months playing with the pup at his studio.

“Hachiko blended in with the area around the station [in the photo] and this is just what I saw at that time. I have never looked at such a photo that caught the atmosphere of Hachiko’s everyday life at that time so well,” Ando told The Japan News.

Ando’s father, Teru, created the first statue of Hachiko in 1934.
