In this classic episode of The Atlas Obscura Podcast, we dive into how one dog’s profound show of devotion for his master transformed him into the symbol of loyalty for an entire nation.

Our podcast is an audio guide to the world’s wondrous, awe-inspiring, strange places. In under 15 minutes, we’ll take you to an incredible site, and along the way you’ll meet some fascinating people and hear their stories. Join us daily, Monday through Thursday, to explore a new wonder with cofounder Dylan Thuras and a neighborhood of Atlas Obscura reporters.
