Where There Is Love There Is No Death
El Beso De La Muerte
Poubleno Cemetery, Barcelona, Spain. Grave of Josep Llaudet Soler, d). 1930. Probable sculptor Jaime Barba, with possible input from Joan Fontbernat. Let us imagine these two walking up that hill as Death shows the man the path into the light -
Death has to work hard for us humans, and he is not to be feared.

Hachikō (ハチ公, November 10, 1923 – March 8, 1935) was a Japanese Akita dog remembered for his remarkable loyalty to his owner, Hidesaburo Ueno, for whom he continued to wait for over nine years following Ueno's death.
Hachikō was born on November 10, 1923, at a farm near the city of Odate, Akita Prefecture. In 1924, Ueno, a professor at theTokyo Imperial University, brought him to live in Shibuya, Tokyo as his pet. Hachikō would meet Ueno at Shibuya Station every day after his commute home. This continued until May 21, 1925, when Ueno died of a cerebral hemorrhage while at work. From then until his death on March 8, 1935, Hachikō would return to Shibuya Station every day to await Ueno's return.
It seems that Hachiko has a new friend.

I love you so much, big wonderful man. I will love you forever, you have meant so much to me. You would never let any harm come to me.
I love you so much.
DEATH AND ODYSSEUS
And Death hated being laughed at, and used to brood apart thinking only of his wrongs and of what he could do to end this intolerable treatment.
But one day Death appeared in the courts with an air and They all noticed it. "What are you up to now?" said Love. And Death with some solemnity said to Her: "I am going to frighten Odysseus"; and drawing about him his grey traveller's cloak went out through the windy door with his jowl turned earthwards.
And he came soon to Ithaca and the hall that Athene knew, and opened the door and saw there famous Odysseus, with his white locks bending close over the fire, trying to warm his hands.
And the wind through the open door blew bitterly on Odysseus.
And Death came up behind him, and suddenly shouted.
And Odysseus went on warming his pale hands.
Then Death came close and began to mouth at him. And after a while Odysseus turned and spoke. And "Well, old servant," he said, "have your masters been kind to you since I made you work for me round Ilion?"
And Death for some while stood mute, for the thought of the laughter of Love.
Then "Come now," said Odysseus, "lend me your shoulder," and he leaning heavily on that bony joint, they went together through the open door.

Hachiko crosses the Rainbow Bridge with his father, March 8 1935
Hachiko is buried under the pillar to the right of Professor Ueno's grave, and buried with them are the ashes of the professor's girlfriend, Yaeko Sakano. Aoyama Cemetery, Tokyo. How fitting that Hachiko will guard his family's door forever.
Woof.
