If you die, will your pet try to eat you? Or will you stay by your side like these five famous loyal dogs?
Everyone has heard of Hati, once a Japanese Akita dog, which is now an immortal copper statue standing outside Shibuya Station in Japan. It waited for its owner at this station, a professor of Tokyo Imperial University, who had unfortunately died of a brain bleed nine years earlier. Hati goes to the train station with the professor every morning and comes back every night to wait for him.
On that fated day the professor was never again present at the station, but the faithful eight men went to the station every night to greet their masters as the train approached. This moving behaviour lasted nine years and nine months and fifteen days. During this time, the G8 rejected all opportunities for family reunification. Each time it escapes from the new owner and goes to the train station to meet the owner whom it has identified. This behaviour - until it died in 1935 and reached the age of 12.
Now, as a result of Hollywood's replaying of the original film by Richard Gere, the story of HYDRA became very famous, but do you know that HYDRA actually lived in the 1920s?
However, since the publication of an article on loyalty in the Japanese national newspaper Asahi Shimbun, there have been many reports of similar loyal dogs.
Here's some recent news for you.
Scarper
Scarper.
The loyal dog refused to leave the master after his death, accompanying him for 12 hours to help the police identify the poor man.
According to Subway, Nick, 53 years old, slept in the street and was found in southern London on 23 February.
It was reported that on the day before the body was found, Nick was walking in the heart of London without his belongings, which meant that there was nothing to prove when he died.
Michelle Clark, head of the charity “DOTS” (a non-profit charity that provides benefits to homeless owners and their dogs), immediately contacted the local government and retrieved the identity of Nick and Scarper, registered in his database.
Fortunately, the press has revealed that Skaper will now live with Nick's mother.

Police officers in Portalington, Ireland, took pictures of Jack the dog waiting for the owner in the back of the first aid vehicle after the owner had fallen into a ditch.
The police said that it was because Jack refused to leave the owner that they were able to find the old man who fell into the ditch very quickly.
Local police then shared this warm picture on Facebook.
The police also added a sentence to the photograph: “Even if the ambulance came, Jack would not rest until he saw his master safe.”
3. The Greek version of the 8th
The dog's owner was killed in the car accident and has been at the scene for over a year. The locals also tried to adopt it at this appropriate time, but the dog always went back to the roadside. Instead of trying to deceive him to leave, the locals decided to make the place fit for life. They built a dog house as a shelter for this loyal dog and regularly provided it with food and water.
According to Nafpaktia, on 9 November 2017, 40-year-old Harris died when he was working under a cement mixer. The dog is very loyal, and it stays on the side of the road every year and quarter, and it only moves a little to the shade when it gets hot.
4. The Mexican version of the 8th
Crena Vázquez died in the early hours of 7 April 2019 on a train track. According to the locals, the deceased and his dog had lived together for several years. The 57-year-old man refused to leave after being declared dead.
It is reported that Mr. Vázquez's addiction to alcohol and his drinking near the city of Monte Morelos in northern Mexico led to this tragedy.
When the police and medical personnel tried to remove the dog, it tried to bite them as a sign of refusal. They had to be forcibly removed and sent to the civil defence facility in Monte Morelos for rest.
5. Sam
In a small community of Bethel acres, a family called the police because a man living there had a serious heart attack.
The police came in and found a heartbreaking scene. A Labrador Retriever, about 20 years old, lies next to his dead master and refuses to leave him. This dog, Sam, lives alone in this world after losing his best friend Arthur.
As Arthur's friend Phillip Gordon said on the news station KWTV in Oklahoma City, Arthur and Sam were inseparable until the last minute. Philip said, "They're best friends." Even if Arthur had left, Sam's eyes had never left him. Philip also said, “Sam is waiting in his house, looking out the window.”
As Arthur ' s health deteriorated and heart disease needed treatment, Sam was increasingly eager to be with his master. When Arthur was transferred to the hospital, she tried to jump out of the window and find her owner.
Although the doctors believed that Arthur was not well enough and needed his stay for observation, Arthur finally made a decision and wanted to spend his last time with Sam. Finally, Arthur died of a renewed heart attack and, following Arthur's death, Sam's body had problems.
Maehghan Olsen, founder and director-general of the one-day ranch charity, works to care for and rehabilitate horses, poultry and dogs who have been abused and neglected. Olson said in The Person magazine, when she came to Arthur's house, Sam showed extreme anxiety, "Breathing, shaking, and other stress signs."
Olson and Sam sat together and tried to comfort him, and eventually managed to put on Sam's collar and take it away from the place that made it sad: "I let her say goodbye." On the way to the new home, Sam cried for his master.
After reaching the ranch, Sam had difficulty adapting to life without Arthur, after all, who had been her human partner for a long time. Fortunately, Olson brought some blankets and pillows to Sam from Arthur's house, so that there would be something familiar with him around Sam.
Sam has now been permanently adopted by a family living on a ranch. She was given the medical care she needed, the love of many new owners and played with other dogs, goats and pigs. As Olson said: “She lives in love, snacks and naps. It has absolutely the best life!"
