What a sad but lovely story.

Spot, a great Dane mix, waits every day for her owner to come driving down a road in Lone Oak, Texas, after work. Her owner was killed by a drunk driver five months ago. Video is

Hi, I heard a story about this recently. They said the dog was an Akita and were concerned that this breed of dog will become the latest "fad", like dalmations become extremely popular after 101 Dalmations etc etc. The story went on to say that the Akita is not the dog for everyone, and will need a very firm hand etc. I hope the dog doesn't become a fad, as we all know what happens to these "fad" dogs after time.

Hi

I think you're talking about the Japanese dog Hachiko the Akita. There was some concern that with the release of the Richard Gere movie that akitas would become faddish but fortunately that fear doesn't seem to have been realised.
