In the 1920s, the most famous dog of this breed traveled to and from the train station for 9 years to wait for his master who had died at work. Name this loyal breed.

There are two types of Akitas: the Japanese Akita (also known as the Akita Inu) and the American Akita. They have a short double coat as they were bred in the cold, mountainous regions of northern Japan. The famous Akita mentioned in the question was named Hachikō, owned by Professor Hidesaburō Ueno of Tokyo. His undying loyalty is the stuff of legends.
