Hachi’s rescue story:
Hachi was raised since he is a puppy by a factory owner as a watch dog. But his owner hardly paid any attention to him. Around two years old during his puberty, Hachi was once lost, until the rescuer found him as a stray in poor physical condition. Since then, Hachi was neutered and treated for skin problem, followed by foster family’s loving care and training for future adoption.
