      But canonically, the Futurama dog waited like 10 minutes! Some time travel shenanigans overwrote the reality where he spends his life waiting. In the final timeline he got to live a few more happy years with his master 🥲

        Just in case you weren’t aware, that Futurama episode was loosely based on a real life dog that waited for his master at the train station every day for years after the humans death

        They are too good for us and we don’t deserve them, but I’m glad we have them in our lives.

          Didn’t even need to look at the link to know it was Hachiko!

          I’ve been to Shibuya station and seen (and pet) Hachiko (the statue) a few times, always a weirdly melancholic experience
