Hachiko from Yakutsk: A dog’s loyalty in minus 50 degrees Celsius

For several weeks, a dog from Yakutia named Hachiko has remained beside the lifeless body of another dog, his female friend, in minus 50 degree weather. The dog has been celebrated as a true hero on Internet forums. Moved by the dog’s loyalty, locals have been feeding him every day and have even decided to build him a warm doghouse.
The dog was named Hachiko in honor of a famous Japanese dog whose owner died of a heart attack. Every day for seven years the dog would go to the train station to greet his owner, and every day he would leave alone.
