Japanese tsunami dog and owner reunited
A dog that was rescued after spending three weeks floating at sea after a huge earthquake
and tsunami has been reunited with its owner, who recognised the dog when she saw a TV news
report on the rescue on Friday.
The dog was found by a Japan Coast Guard crew on a roof drifting some 1.8km off the coast
of one of the worst-hit areas along Japan's north-east coast. The roof that the dog was found on is
believed to have broken off the house and been washed out to sea by the retreating waters of the
devastating tsunami.
The two-year-old dog called Ban had an emotional reunion with its owner at an animal care
centre where it had been taken to be looked after. Local media reported that Ban immediately
jumped up and was very excited when the owner appeared. "We'll never let go of her," said the
owner, who wished to remain anonymous.

Japan's most famous dog
In front of the enormous Shibuya train station in Tokyo, there is a life-size bronze statue of a
dog. Even though the statue is very small when compared to the huge neon signs flashing, it isn't
difficult to find. It has been used as a meeting point since 1934 and today you will find hundreds of
people waiting there for their friends to arrive.
Hachiko, an Akita dog,was born in 1923 and brought to Tokyo in 1924. His owner, Professor
Eisaburo Uyeno and he were inseparable friends right from the start. Each day Hachiko would
accompany his owner, a professor at the Imperial University, to Shibuya train station when he left
for work. When he came back, the professor would always find the dog patiently waiting for him.
Sadly, the professor died suddenly at work in 1925 before he could return home.
Although Hachiko was still a young dog, the bond between him and his owner was very
strong and he continued to wait at the station every day. Sometimes, he would stay there for days
at a time, though some believe that he kept returning because of the food he was given by street
vendors. He became a familiar sight to commuters over time. In 1934, a statue of him was put
outside the station. In 1935, Hachiko died at the place he last saw his friend alive.
