MR. CHŪKEN (忠犬) (LOYAL DOG),

Male dog of the Japanese Akita breed. His story is based on a true story of another dog named Hachiko, born November 10, 1923 and died March 8, 1935 in Japan, as follows:

Every morning, University Professor Hidesaburō Ueno, his Master, goes to Shibuya Station to take the suburban train that takes him to Tokyo for his work and Hachikō inevitably accompanies him and stays in the station because he can’t take the train, while each evening the dog goes to the station alone and awaits the return of his master.

But one day his Master does not come back on the train, because he died of a sudden stroke. The professor's family then attempts to find a new home for Hachiko, but he continually runs away and returns to his master's home. In addition, Hachikō continues to go to Shibuya Station every day to await his return. Day after day, the dog returns precisely to the time his master's train was supposed to arrive, and waits for him.

And that for almost ten years until the day of his natural death.

Our Chūken, in ignorance of what happened and without understanding why his Master is not coming back from Lyon, suffers from a severe nervous breakdown. So he goes to see our Psych to get out from this depressive situation.
