This movie is based on a true story. One tale about a dog known by virtually everyone in Japan is that of Hachiko, an Akita inu. This touching true story of loyalty will resonate with any child (or adult) who has ever loved a dog or any pets. The story is told gently, in a thoughtful, restrained way that makes me admire the faithful dog rather than pity him. Just imagine peoples Hachiko wait for his deceased owner nearly a decade. He came everyday at the train station waiting at the same spot regardless whether it was raining or snowing heavily. He just wait and wait hoping that one day his owner will came back to him
:'(.
Hachiko was born in Odate Japan in November 10, 1923. When his master, Dr. Eisaburo Ueno a professor at Tokyo University died in May 1925, Hachi returned to the Shibuya train station the next day and for the next nine years to wait. Hachi died on March 8, 1935.
R.I.P. Hachiko
your story teaches me the meaning of loyalty and everlasting friendship :')
