Description
Tokyo is a far cry from Gundagai but here two Australian unidentified soldiers admire a monument to another "Tucker Box Dog" in front of Shibuya railway station. This dog always accompanied his master to the station on his way to work in the morning and met him there on his return. One day the master did not return but the dog could not be enticed from his post waiting for him until he eventually died there. Faithfulness of his kind is recognised as admirable all over the world. The background building is the Tokyo Department store under construction.
