![]() Hachiko: A Dog’s Story![]() Hachiko: A Dog's Story SynopsisThis 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.
The TrailerThe ReviewThis is such a touching movie, far much better than some of the crap we’ve been exposed so far this year. Yes there’s no fight sequences, car chase or romantic exchanges, but who can resist a movie about your “best friend”. Pets sole purpose in life is to please it’s owner, their love boundless and that very much reflect in a legendary dog name Hachiko. The mut has gone into the anal of the his other famous dog counterparts such as Lassie and Scooby Doo. The film is based on a true story, and be warned, do bring a hankie. Even if you’re not the crying sort, you’ll be truly touched by this loyal companion of a dog. The Good
