අමතක නොවන අද දිනය............

දිනෙක ඔබ හමුවණා
ජීවිතේ වෙනසකි
ඔබ හා මිතුරු වුණා
මිතුදමත්, ආදරයත්
ඔබ මා එක් කලා
දෙවසරක් පුරා මම
ජීවිතය වින්දා
ආදරය හැඳින්නා
අතීතයේ යම්
අද වන් දිනෙක
අප ආ මාවතේ
මිහිරි, අමිහිරි මතක
බොහෝමයි
නමුත් මා තුල ඇත්තේ
ඔබ හමුවීම ගැන
සතුටයි, තෘප්තියයි.........

Huchiko-the story of most loyal dog in world......(my eyes got wet)

"Hachiko: A Dog's Story" is a film i recently watched and how much i felt it is i got a thought to write about it  in my blog........

 Hachiko was a faithful dog lived in japan and now i'm going to tell it's story......

Hachiko was brought to Tokyo in 1924 by his owner, a college professor named Hidesamuro Ueno. Each day, when Ueno left for work, Hachiko would stand by the door to watch him go. When the professor came home at 4 o’clock, Hachiko would go to the Shibuya Station to meet him.
 

The pair continued their daily routine until May 1925, when Professor Ueno did not return. The professor had suffered from a cerebral hemorrhage and died, never returning to the train station where Hachikō was waiting. Every day for the next nine years the dog waited at Shibuya station.

Hachiko didn’t realize that he was gone, and so the dog returned to the train station every single day to await his master. He became such a familiar presence there, in fact, that the station master set out food for the dog and gave him a bed in the station. Even so, Hachiko never shifted loyalties –every day at 4 o’clock, he hopefully waited by the tracks as the train pulled in, searching for his best friend’s face among the people getting off.

Hachiko died in 1935, after 10 long years of waiting for his master. But the dog would not be forgotten –a year before his death, Shibuya Station installed a bronze statue of the aging dog, to honor its mascot. Though the statue was melted down during World War II, a new version was created in 1948 by the son of the original artist. Go to the station now, and you’ll be able to see the bronze statue of Hachiko – still waiting, as ever, for his master to come home.

It was the story of most loyal dog in world..... and it was a remarkable creature of faithfulness.
one thing after all, when i get mind about Huchiko i always get tears in my eyes and little proud to be an animal lover.............
my salutation for you loyal friend.......
