Aiken Rosinante no Sainan~Mukai Ryuuta no Doubutsu Nikki (The disaster of my dog Rosinante~Mukai Ryuuta's Animal Diary)

(From Daily Yomiuri, Wm. Penn):  The star of the show is Rosinante, a lovable Labrador retriever, whose master, a commuter train conductor, dies while Rosinante is spending the night at the impromptu weekend dog hotel a veterinary professor has set up at the university to collect a little extra cash. With a touch of the loyal Hachiko in him, Rosinante greets all the passing trains his master used to ride. Such loyalty leads
Domoto to adopt Rosinante even if it does mean getting thrown out of his apartment building and having to live in the girl's dorm.

The story is told from Rosinante's perspective and although the action in episode one was infuriatingly slow, dog lovers will love it.  The serial's most endearing quality was its repeated emphasis of the point that taking on a pet is an "until death do us part" kind of relationship. That alone makes it worthy of a spot in Saturday night prime time.
