Modern-day Hachiko waits over a week for its owner in snow and rain

A dog in the city of Iida, Nagano Prefecture, has become the focus of Japanese animal lovers’ attention after he was spotted waiting patiently at the side of a mountain road for more than seven days despite the blisteringly cold weather and frequent rain.

The dog has refused to budge from the area for days, and simply stares downhill at the long stretch of road as if waiting for his owner to return, like a modern-day Hachiko.
