The Dog at Shibuya Station
This statue of a dog is at Shibuya Station (right by that massive crosswalk) and is a famous meeting place. In the late 1960's there was a dog that would follow his master to work and see him off everyday at the train station. Everyday the dog would come back in the evening, wait for his master to return and walk home with him. One day the man died at work and so the dog waited all evening until the last train came and then went home. It returned every day to the station to wait for his master until the dog finally died. The people of Tokyo donated funds to erect this statue to remember the dog. Loved the story so much that I wanted to get a pic at the statue.

Don,
I felt so happy last night just thinking about how you and Amy and Will must feel being reunited. What a great gift from Omniture.
Japan sounds wonderful. I feel like all the mystery has faded to some degree and that this will be a wonderful adventure for the 3 of you. Amy looks so beautiful even after a looooooong flight.
I love you all so much. We are smiling ear to ear as we look at those amazing pictures of Will. So darn cute...that little chin of his is so William! I love it.
