Ten days ago, RocketNews24 posted the "last known photo" of loyal dog Hachiko. It was taken immediately after he was found dead.
The Mainichi Shimbun has posted a photo that is purportedly the "last known" photo of Hachiko. The photo was taken about 2 1/2 months before his death on March 8, 1935.
They wrote:
The apparently last known photograph of Hachiko, an Akita dog who waited for years for its deceased owner's return in front of Shibuya Station, is on display at a Tokyo museum.
The picture is of Hachiko sitting on the ground as members of a neighborhood family look on. It was donated by Tokyo resident Toyoko Endo, 80, to the Shirane Kinen Shibuya-ku Kyodo Hakubutsukan Bungakukan, a folk and literary museum in the capital's Shibuya Ward, in May last year.
