@MissLed - I know of Hachiko. The dog who was loved by the father but not by the rest of the family. So the dog walked with Dad to the train station every morning. The Dog would stay at the station for the day. The people in and around the station slowly become aware of the dog's love for the man. When Dad returned back on the evening train, the dog would return home.
One day the Dad died in the town he was working, and he never returned. Hachiko never left the station and died waiting for the Man. The station has a memorial for the most loving Shiba Inu - Hachiko (1935)
