Today I just finished download this movie. When I watched it, I broke into tears after half of the movie. The part where the owner of the dog, a college professor died after heart attack. After the death of the professor, the dog, Hachiko would everyday went to the train station to wait for the professor. However, the professor did not appear. Hachiko had been waiting for the professor to appear in front of the door of th station since the professor's death til Hachiko died. It's a long time, years to go. It's a touching movie and true story. One of the touching is where Hachi finally caughtthe ball. Since Hachi was adopted he was taught to catch ball. But, he never caught it. On the day the professor went to work Hachi took the ball to the train station and played with the professor. Finally, he caught the ball threw by the professor. The professor was delighted and took the ball to work. This was the last time the professor was at the station. On that day, he passed away. Seems like Hachi knew it was his last chance played the ball with the professor.
This heartwarming true story is an American adaptation of a Japanese tale about a loyal dog named Hachiko. This very special friend would accompany his master to the train station every day and return each afternoon to greet him after work. Sadly his master departs one day, passes away and never returns to the station. Hachiko faithfully returns to the same spot at the station the very next day, and every day for the next nine years to wait for his beloved master. During his daily visits, Hachiko touches the lives of many who work near and commute through the town square. He teaches the local people love, compassion and above all unyielding loyalty. Today, a bronze statue of Hachiko sits in his waiting spot outside the Shibuya station in Japan as a permanent reminder of his devotion and love. (Originated from www.imdb.com)
