According to BBC News, a man by the name of Naoto Matsumura is the last person living in Tomioka, Japan.  The area was devastated after the disasters at the Fukushima power plant, causing almost all of it’s residents to flee.

People left in such a rush, than many doors were left open, and many animals were left abandoned.  Matsumura has taken it upon himself to be the personal guardian of the animals still living in the area.

He takes car of all of the abandoned animals, and lives by candle light.  He’s become known as the Guardian of Fukushima’s Animals.

He does his best to ensure that he gets as much food as possible for himself and the animals from outside the disaster zone. However, because he’s decided to stay behind to help, he’s most likely the world most radioactive man as well.

In the photo, one can see Hachiko around 1934.  He’s sitting near the Shibuya railway station.  He’s waiting for his human to come home via that same subway station as always.  Only at this point, his human had passed away.

Nevertheless, the dog stayed there, every day, waiting.  Now we don’t know about you, but that’s what we call loyalty.

The photo was taken by Isamu Yamamoto, who has also since passed away.  Yamamoto’s family came across the photo while cleaning Yamamoto’s former home.  It is a unique photo to be sure.

Most photos of Hachiko depict him with other people, or are a close-up.  This is a photo of the whole scene as it happened, all the way back in the 1934.  A statue commemorating the heroic dog’s loyalty has been erected in that same spot you see in the photo.  Hachiko is a bit of a local legend, and a world wide sensation.

“Hachiko was a familiar sight to those living near Shibuya Station.  I hope the photo my father took will be preserved carefully,” Yamamoto’s daughter, Yoko Imamura said.

For this pup, though, it led him into a slightly sticky situation. A shiba inu followed his nose right into a bush…where he proceeded to become stuck. His reaction, though, is the funniest part of the whole situation.

He doesn’t seem to mind.

Honestly, he looks pretty at one with the natural scenery of the Japanese street.

“Oh, don’t mind me. I’m just hanging out. Nothing to see!”

Perhaps this dog will learn not to trust his nose so much after this experience. Hopefully he got out of the bush in time for dinner because that can’t be too comfortable and I’m sure he got hungry eventually.

So what exactly does she do? Well as it turns out, this little Shiba is an avid admirer of the “inside voice,” (that thing mommy dreams are made of) and she knows how to use it. Who knows? Maybe this trainer can work her magic on a toddler or two sometime…

What she did :20 seconds in was either the cutest or funniest thing. Excuse me, I have to share this with literally every dog lover I know!
