A Japanese TV show interviewed a bunch of people who knew Hachiko. They all said that the story about waiting for the owner was an embellishment.

The entrance he waited next to was next to a yakitori restaurant and the patrons used to give him some. He was just begging for food.

They even did an autopsy of the dog and he had a bunch of bamboo sticks (used to skewer the chicken in yakitori) in his stomach.
