The Bolivian city of Cochabamba, in the center of the country, is witness to the lesson of loyalty and perseverance of a modest mutt, that five years expected in the corner of an avenue of that city to his master who died in a traffic accident.
Some call it 'Hachi', emulating the famous Japanese dog 'Hachiko'; others say 'Huachi' or 'Publicidad', but the truth is that this Brown dog has touched residents and traders established in the avenida Papa Paulo, in the North-East of Cochabamba.
' They must be about five years since died its owner in a motorcycle accident. The dog came back and stayed here since then ', says Roman Bilbao Luján, the owner of a meat and Deli shop located a few metres from the place where 'Hachi' lost his master.
The owner was a University every day following that route on motorcycle with the dog as escort, until one day the boy was hit by a taxi and died when he was being transferred to the hospital, he said this week the newspapers seller Aida Miranda Cochabamba daily Opinion.
Since then, 'Hachi' has made Pope Paulo Avenue their home and cries in the corner where the accident removed his master, says Elizabeth Martha García, who helps Miranda in the sale of newspapers.
' He walks from corner to corner and again come where its owner is deceased. Walks, stops at a corner and howls when he sees the corner where its owner has died ', adds Garcia.
The original 'Hachiko' was a dog belonging to Hidesaburo Ueno, a Professor of agricultural engineering at the University of Tokyo, who died in 1925 after suffering a cerebral hemorrhage while he taught one of his classes.
Despite the fact that its owner had died, can attended every day for nine years Shibuya Station at the time that was the train which always brought back to Ueno.
When newly died his master, the Bolivian 'Hachi' did not stop crying in the corner where the accident occurred and howling and barking desperately whenever a motorcycle passing by the place, thinking that he was his master, says Roman Bilbao.
As well as the users of Shibuya Station began to eat and to attend daily to 'Hachiko', the Bolivian can also aroused compassion and solidarity in the avenida Papa Paulo, where people have grown fond.
The dog knows that he has breakfast secured with Bilbao, whose shop works for 18 years in the avenida Papa Paulo.
Thus, the day of 'Hachi' begins between 6.30 and 7.00 in the morning at the door of the business of Bilbao, who awaits with necks of chicken and water.
'Hachi' takes a dam and returns to his corner to eat it; then walk a little and average tomorrow is directed to a small restaurant or the neighboring market, know where you can get something for lunch.
In the evenings get food in a Steakhouse where melancholy look dog also receives occasional shelter for the night.
Several people have tried to adopt the dog and even the relatives of his deceased master took him to his house, on the other side of the city.
But, apparently, the nostalgia of 'Hachi' is greater, so it always manages to escape to return to his corner to wait his owner again to go through there on a motorcycle, as in the old days.
