    This is basically why it’s important to allow pets see the bodies of dead family members. Dogs, cats, birds etc. can all understand death to a point, but if the person or another pet just disappears, they might be left forever waiting. Just like how people can be left waiting and wondering what happened for decades if someone just goes missing.

      Pretty sure he was based off of Hachiko. IIRC there’s even a statue of him at the station

      I knew what was coming and I looked anyway. I don’t know why, because it will never not make me sad.

        Oh you want some more popular culture unhappiness along the same lines? “Happier” by Marshmello is about a young girl and her dog. They grow up together and then the dog gets old and dies when she’s a young adult.

        To be exact, he ends up without a white guy, but I get your point.
