What does Hachi mean?

Hachi means "eight" in Japanese, and it's also the name of the famously loyal Akita who, after his owner's death, continued to wait for him at a Tokyo train station every day for nearly a decade — a true story retold in the film Hachiko/Hachi: A Dog's Tale.

Devoted and steady, Hachi is a fitting tribute name for a pet whose loyalty feels like the center of your whole day.
