The storyline is literally Hachiko, the dog that sat and waited for his owner to come home at Shibuya station. I would never say that animals can't think or feel like people, a LOT of science is starting to walk back the level of emotional engagement in many species, particularly social species including pets. So uh, maybe careful how you say that.

But the impact of the episode is only being oversold now in hindsight, with 20 years of people saying it's the saddest episode ever. When it first aired, it came out of nowhere and gutpunched us all so yeah, it was SAD. We remember the sad vividly. And then we spent 20 years telling the internet how sad it was, repeatedly allowing Buzzfeed to repost our top 10 saddest moments ever. The impact has been drastically lessened by all of that constant oversharing commentary, so I'm honestly not shocked that it doesn't hit people like it used to. They're desensitized or steeled against feeling as deeply by all the people telling them they have to feel something, and here we are.

Animal behaviouralist here: animals do not think, feel, or behave the same as humans. That doesn’t mean they don’t think or feel, it just means that people tend to anthropomorphise them. Dogs are wired to be loyal. And they do not understand human death. So yeah, sorry you don’t understand based on the context in the rest of the comment but please tell me more about what my colleagues and I are doing and caution me about stating facts *eye roll*

What dog breed should I get? If I want a calm dog that can learn basic commends like commands?

Oh, chihuahua for sure.

What size of dog do you want, and how much walking do you want to do?

Because those two things play a lot into what recommendation you get.

There is no point us recommending a newfie when all you can accommodate is a tibetan spaniel.

Funny way to spell Greyfriars Bobby, but okay.

Ah, I'm just joking, the super loyal dog is a classic tale for a reason. Seymour is just the American addition to a historic legacy. A worthy one too.

There are so many real life examples of this that aside from the buzzfeed overexposure, anyone watching it today would be more likely to know about the numerous famous instances. That wasn’t the case when it first aired so yeah, probably the viewer’s first time considering that happening.
