This is the final photograph taken of Hachiko, a Japanese Akita dog renowned for his unwavering loyalty to his owner. Hachiko belonged to Professor Eizaburo Ueno, who resided in Shibuya and taught at Tokyo Imperial University in the early 1920s. Each day, Ueno would walk to Shibuya station accompanied by Hachiko, and they would commute together to his workplace by train. At precisely 3 pm, Ueno would return to the station to head back home, and Hachiko would always be there, patiently waiting to join the professor on their journey.
However, one day, tragedy struck when Ueno suffered a stroke and never made it to the station. Undeterred by his master's absence, Hachiko faithfully went to the station every day for nine years until his passing in 1935. To honor his remarkable loyalty, a statue of Hachiko was erected outside Shibuya station in Tokyo. In 2015, on the faithful dog's 80th death anniversary, another statue of Hachiko was unveiled at Tokyo University, symbolically reuniting him with his beloved master, Professor Ueno.
This is the Baltic Way. On 23 August 1989, two million people joined their hands to form a human chain spanning 675.5 km across the three Baltic States of Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia. The protest was against Soviet oppression, and to support the independence movements of the three States and their desire to escape communism.
