I did get the impression that he kept waiting and waiting and died with a broken heart.

Unfortunately I recently saw the Richard Gere movie "Hachi" which is basically 90 minutes of the this episode that is much more heartbreaking.

I'm with OP. The thought of a pet who greets you enthusiastically to end up just waiting and waiting for you to return and you don't get to is one of the most depressing things I can imagine.

As a sidenote: I don't even care that Futurama retconned this episode so that an alternate version of Fry could return. The damage is done. Too depressing.

DA

You're brave as hell, anon. I can't read the Hachiko's wiki page without crying. There are tears in my eyes now just remembering the story.

I think I need to go find some chocolate.

He was certainly waiting but I just didn't think he resented Fry, but maybe I'm reading into it.

I've never heard of the movie but I've heard of Hachi the dog. Not sure I could handle the movie.

I agree about the retcon. To me it doesn't count.

There was a Pokemon episode based on Hachi's story, but with a Kyuukon/Ninetales in his place.

... she waited about 150 years for her master to return from a "short trip," outliving all his servants, and when she finally realized he wasn't coming back, she couldn't leave because a hoshi no tama pre-pokeball/monsterball bound her there.

Then, Takeshi/Brock came and he looked just like her master... ;^;

Even before the retcon it's not like he ever died in that scene (sad though it is anyway). He was flash-fossilized standing up.
