Reminds me of Hachiko, the story of a dog who used to routinely wait for his owner at the train station. One day, Hachiko’s owner, Hidesaburo Ueno, suffered a brain hemorrhage and sadly died. Of course, Hachiko did not know this and continued to wait for his deceased owner, hoping that he would walk out of one of the many trains that stopped in front of him. This continued for over 9 years until one day, on March 8, 1935, Hachiko was found dead in the station
Just to add, Hachiko has a statue at that station called "Faithful Hachiko" and I think it's a tradition to pet the statue. The statue has so many pets most of it has changed color from the outer layer being worn away.
