It happened in Japan in 1986.
Mr. and Mrs. Nakamura were desperately searching for their dog Shiro, who had mysteriously vanished in the morning.
Shiro returned home, drenched, late in the evening. Caring dog owners were perplexed and wanted to know where their dog had gone that morning and why he was wet when he returned home.
Mr. Nakamura followed him to find out why he disappear every morning and discovered the dog on the beach.
Shiro went into the water and began swimming. The owner jumped into his boat and chased the dog.
After swimming for nearly two kilometers, Shiro arrived on the island three hours later and entered into a home where a gorgeous dog arrived, and they began to play.
This dog’s name was Marilyn who was Shiro’s girlfriend, and she came as a complete surprise to Mr. Nakamura.
Marilyn resided on the same island as Shiro and his owners. This Japanese island, known as Zamami, still exists. Shiro and his family relocated to Aka, a smaller island, during the summer of 1986. The dog began to miss his sweetheart and desired to be near Marilyn.
So, he swam from Aka to Zamami simply to see his girlfriend.
The community quickly observed the eternal devotion of two canines. Shiro and Marilyn inspired so many people and were so well-known in Japan that they decided to make a film called “I Want to See Marilyn” based on their poignant tale.
Unfortunately, Shiro lost his love and his best friend, Marilyn, when she died in 1987.
Shiro died at the age of 17, leaving beautiful memories in the hearts of Japanese people.
When visiting the amazing Zamami Island, which has a fascinating terrain, colorful beaches, coral reefs, and fauna, people don’t forget to look for the statues of Shiro and Marilyn.
Thanks to Kerama Islands for this amazing story.
