Loyal dogs


So I came across an article on the web describing Hachiko, the loyal Akita who waited for 10 years for his owner to return. It is a great story and I urge everyone to read it for it is very touching. The article also referenced Futurama and Fry's dog, Seymour. Now, I am a casual Futurama fan so I did not understand this reference. But after reading up on it and watching a few clips of the episode on the internet, I can see why the author referenced Fry's dog.

It's kinda funny how sometimes a "lower being" actually displays valued characteristics that "higher beings" fail to live by sometimes. Anyways, if you are not touched by the story about Hachiko, perhaps an actual clip from the Futurama episode will do the trick.
