Hachiko Waits

Hachiko Waits

A Book Review by Caroline, Catherine, Ella B. and Ella N.

 If you read this true story, your emotions will change from sad to happy and more.  The story is about a dog that loves his master. One day the master, Professor Ueno, does not feel good before he gets on the train to go to work. Sadly, he does not return. Will Hachiko ever see his master again?

Hachiko, a beautiful Akita, was a very loyal and devoted dog in Japan. Hachiko waited and hoped to see his master at the train station for a long time.  While Hachiko waited, the Stationmaster and Yasuo, a small boy, took care of the dog. People who learned about this dog’s story learned to never give up.

We recommend this book to people who connect well with feelings. Even though parts of the story are sad, you will read about kindness and hopefulness. If you want to know what love is read this story. You won’t regret reading Hachiko Waits!

 

 

 

This is Hachiko in his backyard running to his master after his master is getting off the train from work.  The trees mean it is in spring when he is a young puppy waiting for his life to have a story. He is running to his master because he is so happy he is home from work.

As you can see Hatchiko feels a little lonely when his master is not here with him.

Hatchiko is looking his master in the eye when he is getting off the train and that is a good sign that Hachiko has a awesome heart for his lovely master, Mister Ueno.

 

 

 

Hachiko is a loving, trusting dog. Professor Ueno took really good care of Hachiko. He always played with his dog and fed Hachiko yakitori, Japanese chicken on a skewer.  To prove that he loves his master, Hachiko used to go to the train station to meet his master every day. In this story, something happens that he does not expect. Read the story to find out what happens.

This is the picture of Sam in his house and Frightful. This is not from any part of the story but it’s still the main idea. You see nothing interesting: just a boy in the wild. But when you read it, most of the time  something is happening. Read it to find out more about the story.                                   by Garrett.
