Hachiko : A Dog's Story



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.
Review : This movie is just so sad & touching. I am so into the movie that it got me crying (not just tears welling up that kind). Imagine u hear sniffing from the 2nd half of movie in the theatre, u will know how it is like. BB didnt know how to react when he heard me cry so he chose to ignore. Grr.....
