Vicki Wong & Hachi
Hachi: A Dog’s Tale was inspired by a combination of Hachikō’s true story and the friendship with my own dog, Hachi, a constant source of joy and comfort.

I created this space to share Hachi’s powerful story and all he represents with the world. My mission is to promote compassion and respect for our cherished animal friends.

Instagram post 2189426509566265411_6935979998 When my Hachi passed away, I created this memorial to celebrate our 16 years together! 🎉 We were inseparable. ❤️ During his last days, we did whatever Hachi wanted! He would get very animated watching mice at the pet store. Mostly, he slept... but the prime rib bones from Lawry’s steak house really got him going! 😁 We had lots of fun together and his toy basket is still here...🌈🙏🏻
