Hachiko Waits is an awesome true story about a Japanese dog named Hachiko. I reallyenjoyed reading this book because it’s amazing on how loyal this dog is and it’s full of different emotions. I would recommend this book from grades 2-6 grade. I would also recommend this book to people who are interested in exciting, unbelievably true stories. My favorite part in this book would have to be when they build a statue of Hachiko. I like this part because they are honoring such a loyal dog.
