The legendary cat Hachiko from Makhachkala, who faithfully lived on his owner's grave for seven years, has passed away.

Touching story from St. Petersburg: legendary cat named Hachiko, whose devotion to his owner melted thousands of hearts, has left this world. In his final days, veterinarians in St. Petersburg fought for the health of the furry hero. Test results were encouraging - his condition was improving, but the cold ground on which he stubbornly sat, waiting for his human, dealt an irreparable blow to his internal organs.

"A cat-human, a cat-personality has passed away", - volunteers wrote with pain. Hachiko was not just an animal - he became a symbol of loyalty. Despite severe diagnoses - pneumonia, infectious peritonitis and chronic renal failure, he held on until the end. Alas, even the best doctors were powerless.

But Hachiko's story received an ending worthy of his devotion: his ashes will be sent to Dagestan to rest beside his owner's grave. Now they are together forever - just as this incredible cat dreamed.
