Just watched this movie and I it really touched me like crazy.. Can't believe how sad this movie is.. Not exactly sad but its really touching to see how faithful and loyal this dog is.
This movie by Richard Gere is based on a actual story that happened in Japan. The real Hachiko was born on 1923 in Odate Japan. When his master, Dr. Eisaburo Ueno died in May 1925, Hachi returned to the Shibuya train station the next day and for the next NINE YEARS to wait.
How often do you see a dog waiting everyday for nine years for his owner to return without fail? Even humans are not so faithful to wait for their love ones for nine years. This proves that dogs can be more sentimental than humans at times. So touching to see a someone (or something) waiting patiently for their love ones to return.
*the real Hachi*
