1: Yasuo wanted to be the first person off te train because when he was at school he kept worring about Hachi. Like was he thirsty? Was he hungry? Was he safe? And wanted to know if his father had somehow gotten Hachi back. I found my answer on page 54.

2: The word devoted means like attached like Hachi was to the Professer. I found my answer on page 63.

3: Yasuo will feed him, play with him, and care for him like any other dog.

4: Hachi acts alert every time a trains unloads because it is his mission to find his master.

5: It is because he has hope and continues to wait because he remembers the kindness of the Professer. I found my answer on pages 61-62.

6: Hachi earned the name "Chuken Hachiko" by being faithful and it also means faithful. I think it fits him because he thinks the Professer is still going to come.
