Have you ever wondered what it is that makes an Akita so special?

To answer that question, author and editor Anastasia Ormeron goes back more than 30 years—when, during a trip to Tokyo, a beautiful bronze statue of a dog caught her attention outside Shibuya railway station.

As she looked closer and met Hachiko’s wistful gaze, she knew she would never forget him or his tale. There is something magical about Japan’s most famous and faithful Akita Inu that touches hearts and changes lives.

Many years passed, but Hachi’s memory remained and her own version of his story reached Akita lovers around the world. One by one, a small circle of Hachi & Friends furry listeners began to grow—each with his or her own special tale to tell.

Here is their collection, and much more too. Akitas from every corner of the globe unite to celebrate their ancestor, The Loyal Dog, and his legacy of love in Hachi’s Favorite Akita Stories. With gorgeous cover illustrations by Akitas Comics.
